A police officer failed to explain why he frequently sent money to his seniors in the name of airtime and lunches.

The vetting panel chaired by commissioner Ronald Musengi said they would recall former OCPD Musa Kongoli and his deputy Muthiri Mugera to respond after Inspector Gerald Gitau, who was a traffic officer in Maseno, failed to clarify why he had been sending them money.
