[23:28, 08/11/2022] Victor Mumo: Dr Resila Atieno Onyango is the new spokesperson for the National Police service.
Resila took over from Bruno Shioso who was promoted and named the commandant of the National Police Service Training Campus in Kiganjo. The changes were made on November 7, 2022.
Shioso replaced the incoming Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome.
Deputy commandant at the college Philip Ndolo was recalled to the police headquarters in the changes announced by acting IGP Noor Gabow.
Central Regional Police Commander (RPC) Manase Musyoka was moved to Nairobi region in the same capacity.
Musyoka replaced James Mugera who retired after attaining mandatory retirement age.
The new Central RPC will be Lydia Ligami while Paul Langat was posted to Western as the RPC to replace Peris Muthoni who retired from the service.
Gabow also named Cathrene Mugwe as the staff officer training at police headquarters.
He termed the changes normal aimed at boosting operations in the affected areas.
Officials said more changes are expected from next month once Koome takes over as the IGP.
More changes are also expected at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations where the DCI Mohamed Amin is still reorganizing the agency.
Both Koome and Amin are new in the positions and will try to put men and women in positions they believe will help them in their agenda.
Koome was set for vetting on November 8 at Parliament.
This comes after the end of submission of memoranda by the public on Thursday last week.
After the approval hearing the joint committee the National Assembly’s Committee on Administration and Internal Af- fairs and the Senate Commit- tee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will retreat to write a report, which will then be presented before Parliament for either approval or rejection of the nominee.President William Ruto had forwarded Koome’s name to Parliament mid October.
