Resign? 'No, never', asserts Kaindi as Uhuru’s choice ignored

Grace Kaindi reported to office Thursday and held normal meetings with a few senior officers, raising suspicion she may have decided to stay put since her retirement announced by authorities has sparked controversy.

Tension and confusion reigned at Vigilance House, the headquarters of the National Police Service, as Grace Kaindi held onto her deputy inspector general position, despite her replacement by President Uhuru Kenyatta on the advice of the service.

A situation quite unexpected of the service, which thrives on discipline, submission to order from superior office and seamless and prompt relay and execution of orders, played out as her replacement in an acting capacity, Mr Joel Kitili, reported to Vigilance House but was kept waiting in another office.
