The four top positions in the National Police Service are set to have new faces as President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration leaves office on Tuesday.

With less than 48 hours before President-elect William Ruto takes over, there has been intense lobbying for the positions, with Ruto having publicly criticised the conduct of some of the current security chiefs.
