In Kenya, a team investigating the activities of alleged police imposter Joshua Waiganjo has recommended the dismissal of suspended Rift Valley Provincial Police chief John M’mbijiwe and Anti-Stock Theft Unit Commandant Remi Ngugi.
The team, which handed in its report on Thursday morning to the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), gave the two top policemen an option to retire or be dismissed.
The committee however cleared former police commissioner Mathew Iteere and suspended Njoro police chief Nthigah Njeru.
“The committee says the NPSC should retire John Kaua M’mbijiwe, PPO Rift Valley province and Remi Ngugi, commandant ASTU in the public interest or dismisses them forthwith in accordance with the governing regulations,” NPSC chairman Johnston Kavuludi.
The report lifted Njeru’s interdiction but recommended that he gets retrained on command and leadership, in addition to being transferred from the Rift Valley region.
The probe team was however unable to determine if Waiganjo leaked sensitive security information relating to the Baragoi massacre where 42 police officers were killed.
“The committee listened to evidence but we were unable to get conclusive evidence on whether he revealed this information at a security meeting,” said committee member Kioko Kilukumi.
