THE DIG KENYA POLICE SERVICE APPROVES RESHUFFLING OF SENIOR POLICE OFFICERS

Deputy Inspector General Edward Mbugua has approved the deployment and reshuffling of senior police officers within the National Police Service (NPS).

Several senior officers, (OCSs), have been moved within the counties while some have been moved from one division to another within the same county.

The reshuffle has affected police officers under the Traffic department, Maritime, Railways, Security Detail, Chaplaincy, Logistics, Operations, Reforms, Directorate and Legal affairs.

Two weeks ago, IG Mutyambai ordered the reshuffle of dozens of Ward Commanders popularly known as Officers Commanding Station (OCS).
This followed complaints that some of them had overstayed at their stations for long. To further strengthen police command at the grassroots, all chiefs’ camps, which were initially manned by APs, were converted into police posts.

Earlier in March, Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai announced the promotion of at least 20 senior police officers after the changes were approved by the National Police Service Commission.

Some of those promoted to the same rank were the IG’s principal assistant Gideon Munga Nyale, deputy director of National Air Support Department (NASD) Rodgers Mbithi, and the director of the Internal Affairs Unit Mohamed Amin.

Others include the head of the Border Patrol Unit College in Kanyonyo, Abdulahi Aden, Railways Police Commandant Peter Ndung’u, head of logistics at Administration Police, and former spokesman Masood Mwinyi and director of personnel at Kenya Police headquarters Boniface Maingi.

The new police appointments also saw several regional commanders promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police. Some of the regional commanders promoted include the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in Nairobi Bernard Nyakwaka, Nyanza regional police commander Karanja Muiruri, Central’s Augustine Nthumbi and DCI’s deputy director of investigations bureau Carey Nyawinda.

Officials said Mutyambai would announce more changes soon.

The service commanders have been operating in acting capacity hence affecting the general command and order, with the full list of the changes to be shared later by National Police Service.

The list continues
