A viral video of fresh General Service Unit recruits celebrating the completion of their training left many uneasy.

In the video, the members of Squad 26 can be seen celebrating and chanting various threats.

"Ndio hiyo tushamaliza. Tunawakilisha hii nini? Hii ni red berets. Tunakuja inje. Hawa ni wale wazii," one said signalling shooting a gun.

In a statement, the National Police Service wrote, "Attention of the NPS is drawn to a video clip circulating on social media depicting newly graduated GSU officers recording themselves as they make some irresponsible and reckless remarks.

We wish to clarify and assure the public that the behaviour portrayed in the clip is not acceptable and does not reflect the values of the GSU, KPS and the NPS.

It continued, "All graduands went through a rigorous value-based training modelled on democratic policing principles and designed to make them responsive and responsible officers of the law at the service of citizens.

The oath of allegiance they took as part of their graduation is a testament to the sanctity of their duty to service.

The remarks as made in the clip are therefore regrettable and stand condemned. An internal review is ongoing with a view of preferring appropriate measures regarding the incident.

GSU is renowned for its focused training aimed at producing highly disciplined and responsible officers."
