Kenya's fourth Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome was sworn in at a time the country is facing serious security challenges. He has no time to celebrate his promotion. He must hit the ground running.

Among the issues Koome has outlined as areas of focus include dealing with crime and maintaining discipline and professionalism in the police rank and file.
