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.
This appointment of Joseph Boinnet is bound to elicit sharp criticism. A majority of Kenyans have been complaining over the President’s tendency to rewarding retiring and retired civil servants and politicians with lucrative jobs.

Lilian Mutio Kiamba
Euesibus Karuti Laituba
Naphtaly Kipchirchir Rono
Alice Atieno Otwala
