Nakuru senior cop secures promotions for wife, girlfriend in the police service

 

A police boss in a Nakuru sub-county has become a thorn in the flesh of his juniors. Reason? Police officers working in the sub-county say he has become a divisive figure. During recent interviews for promotions, it is reported that the man, who also sat on the interviewing panel, ensured his girlfriend was promoted to the rank of corporal and his wife, said to serve in the same station, to the rank of sub-county commander. The junior officers say those not in his “Team Building Group” lineup stagnate and are overworked. They want Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai (pictured) to intervene.

A County Executive Committee member in the South Rift has become filthy rich. This has raised eyebrows among residents. The man has served in two dockets since 2013, with the longest stint being in the Finance docket. A mole has told Corridors of Power that the CEC recently bought a huge piece of land for Sh20 million and quickly put up an exceptional mansion that is now the talk of the town. Not just that, he is said to be finishing up apartments in Kajido county and another set is coming up on the outskirts of his county. Can the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Agency conduct a lifestyle audit of the man?
