Correctional Services Principal Secretary Dr. Salome Beacco has attributed her recent recognition during the Africa Champions Awards ceremony to collective efforts by correctional officers towards achieving excellence.

Speaking at her office when she received the Transformational Leadership of the Year 2026 in Kenya award, the PS said their dedication to service that includes balancing institutional security, discipline, and public safety with the promotion of rehabilitation, human dignity, and community reintegration, is not only being recognized in the country but across the globe.

“I wish to dedicate this Award to all of you; from the duty officers to documentation officers; from probation officer II, OICs, Industry and Farm managers, to regional and County directors; indeed, all of us.” Said the PS.

According to Africa Champions Awards CEO Fredrick Kyalo, the PS was recognized for her transformational reforms within the country’s correctional system which have been impactful. 

Under the theme “Celebrating Visionaries, Transforming Africa” the Pan-African recognition platform that honors leaders, organizations, and institutions for governance, excellence, and Sustainable Development Goals across politics, business, and civil society honored the PS as the winner of the Transformational Leadership of the Year 2026 in Kenya award over the weekend during its 9th Edition gala ceremony.
