The General Service Unit (GSU) boss, Johana Kiplangat Tonui, along with his counterpart from the Internal Affairs Unit, Paul Maingo Mumo, have been among over 2,000 police officers who received promotions in the latest changes. Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja announced these promotions after a day-long meeting with his deputies, Eliud Lagat, and Gilbert Masengeli, as well as Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin.
The promotions come in the wake of a recent Court of Appeal ruling that affirmed the Inspector General's power to recruit police officers, a decision that has escalated a standoff with the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). Several officers were promoted to higher ranks, including Mumo and Tonui, who were elevated to the rank of Senior Assistant Inspector General of Police (SAIG).
