President Uhuru Kenyatta has appointed freshly retired Joseph Boinnet to a new lucrative government position.
The immediate former Inspector of Police will now be the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife.
Through an executive order issued, Uhuru also nominated Hilary Mutyambai as the new Inspector General of the National Police to replace Joseph Boinnet.

Lilian Mutio Kiamba
Euesibus Karuti Laituba
