Speaking to The Standard, Seda promised to crack down on notorious criminal gangs and political hooliganism.

"I am going to work in collaboration with all stakeholders in ensuring our people are safe and any criminal gangs terrorising the people should know their days are numbered," he said.
Seda will seek to build on the work of Mohamud had tried to dismantle criminal gangs in the region and political hooliganism.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba urged security agencies in the region to ensure they eradicate criminal gangs and political hooliganism.

Deputy Inspector General of Kenya Police Eliud Lagat termed the changes made last week on Friday normal, saying they are aimed at enhancing operations.

The other regional commanders remain unchanged for now. They include Evelyn Gisiri (Nyanza), Pepita Ranka (North Eastern), Jasper Ombati (Central), Samuel Ndanyi (Rift Valley), Ali Nuno (Coast) and Hillary Birgen (Eastern).

This came after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Mohamed Amin also made changes in Western region last month where Western Regional Criminal Investigation Officer, Njeru Nthiga was replaced with Danson Shikanda.
