Kenya Police Service (KPS) has stated that the police band is now available for hire for public and private functions.
As per the statement released by KPS, the police band is open for functions such as weddings, graduations, corporate events, and any other kind of social function.
Hiring the band will depend on what kind of function is being organized, as KPS states that hiring the band will cost between Ksh40,000 and Ksh60,000.
There are two kinds of fees charged. This depends upon the kind of event as smaller events will cost a fee of Ksh40,000, whereas bigger events will be charged at a rate of Ksh60,000.
As mentioned above, the police band consists of two major bands. The first is the brass band which is usually performed in parade, graduations, and other official functions while the jazz band plays the second kind of music which is appropriate for celebrations.
The money earned from the functions will be used for welfare activities of the police service such as police sacco and maintenance.
Through this strategy, KPS will now have opened the gates to make this happen.
