His leadership at the Dusit D2 rescue operations ensured that the process was well coordinated, enabling them to reduce the number of casualties in the attack.

Also listed to take up the mantle from Boinnet include DCI Bossย George Kinoti, Police Spokesmanย Charles Owino, and Government Spokespersonย Eric Kiraitheย in a report byย The Star.

IG Boinnet is scheduled to leave office at the end of March 2019, following the end on his 4-year non-renewableย tenure.

In preparation of finding a replacement for IG Boinnet, the government has shortlisted members for the National Police Service Commission.

The new commissionersย will be tasked with advertising for the IG’s position, shortlisting candidates and forwarding the names of the two final candidates to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Uhuru will then present his choice to the National Assembly for vetting.
