Kenya: Former Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo and former Internal Security Minister Joseph ole Lenku were on Tuesday forced out of office, but their appointment to sensitive functions of government still begs serious questions.

Focus shifts to the role of Parliament after MPs controversially amended the National Police Service Act and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) Act last year to aggregate “real power” in the office of the Inspector-General.
