Central Regional Police Commander Judy Lamet has been moved in a mini-reshuffle announced by Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai.
Ms Lamet, a seasoned police officer, was moved to police headquarters and named Director of Community Policing.
Mr Patrick Lumumba, who has been operating from the IG’s office was named the new Central Regional Police Commander. These are some of the latest changes Mutyambai made since he was named to office in April this year.
Last month, he moved Coast Regional boss Marcus Ocholla to Rift Valley, Western’s Yakub Rashid to Coast and Rift Valley’s Edward Mwamburi to Western.
The police boss moved more than 200 junior police officers who were based at the Kenya Railways police command last week.
