President William Ruto has made new appointments that saw the National Police Service (NPS) finding a new face join the senior most ranks.

In line with the recommendations from the National Police Service, the president through the Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, tasked Douglas Kanja Kirocho to deputize Inspector General in the Kenya Police Service, beginning today henceforth. Before the new appointment, Mr Douglas Kanja was in the General Service Unit (GSU) working as a commandant.
