The outgoing Deputy Inspector-General of Police Grace Kaindi on
Thursday remained in office and vowed not to leave until she is given a
dismissal letter.
There was anxiety on Thursday night
at Vigilance House, the headquarters of the Kenya Police Service, when
the Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinett and the General Service
Unit (GSU) commandant Joel Mboya Kitili stormed the building and headed
straight to Ms Kaindi’s office.
Earlier Thursday, Mr Kitili also went to Vigilance House but only remained in Ms Kaindi’s principal deputy’s office.
Another
senior government official also visited the building and held a meeting
with Ms Kaindi. However, details of what transpired during and after
the meeting remained scanty.
Shortly before 8pm, both Mr Boinett and Mr Kitili drove from Vigilance House in a convoy.
Ms
Kaindi has insisted on being issued with a dismissal letter and a
re-appointment one before leaving the office. It turned out that two
days after she was removed from the office, she had not been issued with
a letter.
National Police Service Commission chairman
Johnston Kavuludi is expected to present the letter to the outgoing
police boss. The commission has however not deliberated on the matter.
The team is expected to meet Ms Kaindi at Vigilance at 7am on Friday.
On Friday morning, all officers were directed not to park their vehicles at the main parking lot at the Vigilance House.
Vehicles
assigned to Ms Kaindi were seen at the parking lot with sources
indicating that three drivers were ordered to surrender car keys on
Thursday night.
Ms Kaindi was removed by President Uhuru Kenyatta and appointed an ambassador. President Kenyatta then appointed Mr Kitili in an acting capacity
