President William Ruto poses for a photo with the new Inspector General of Police who was accompanied by some members of the National Police Service led by their chairman Eliud Kinuthia.
President William Ruto has asked the police to tackle insecurity in the country.
He said the police is well resourced and independent to execute their mandate.
“Muggings, cattle rustling or other cases of insecurity must stop,” he said.
The Head of State spoke on Saturday at State House, Nairobi when he met the new Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome who took the oath of office last Friday.
The President asked the Inspector General and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) to work together for the benefit of Kenyans.
“We want a professional police service; the sticky issues of ethnicity, nepotism or cronyism should no longer exist,” he noted.
The President further said that all promotions must be on merit.
On his part, the NPSC Chairman Eliud Kinuthia said the changes in the police were long-overdue.
“We commit not to fail our country since we have resources to deliver,” said Mr Kinuthia.
