National Police Service (NPS), spokesperson Bruno Shioso is among officers who have been promoted by the National Police Service Commissions as Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG).
Shioso will continue to hold the police department’s communication docket, but with greater authority that comes with a higher rank.
The impacted personnel received promotions to the positions of Commissioner of Police, Senior Superintendent of Police, and Superintendent of Police.
Nairobi Police Chief James Mugera, Rift Valley Regional Police Commander Tom Odero, Central Regional Police Chief Manasseh Musyoka, his North Eastern counterpart George Seda, Judicial Police Unit Chief Lazarus Opicho, and DCI’s Head of Reforms Eliud Langat are among those who received the rank of AIG.
Paul Mumo, director of the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, Margaret Karanja, deputy director of forensics, and Rosemary Kuraru, senior assistant inspector general of police, were all recently promoted.
Others were Amos Omuga and Ziporah Mboroki from the DCI Academy, while Joseph Ondoro and Linus Owango were promoted to the position of Commissioner of Police.
Paul Wachira, the regional criminal investigations officer for Nairobi, and Isaac Meeme, his equivalent for the Rift Valley, were both confirmed to the position of commissioner of police.
Since the confirmation of the ranks has been delayed for months, the overall quality of service has suffered.
