In what has been termed by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i as reorganisation of the police service, President Uhuru Kenyatta has scrapped off a number of positions in management.
Also, the president launched new uniforms, renamed both Adminstration and Regular Police training Centers and asked for housing allowances for junior officers.
Seen as a merger between Adminstration and Regular Police forces, Uhuru maintained on Thursday that it will improve service delivery.
The position scrapped include AP regional commander, Kenya Police regional commander, DCI regional commander, Kenya Police county commander,
Others are AP county commander, DCI county commander, sub-county commanders from all the three arms on the National Police Service , OCPD, district AP commander and AP ward commander.
These positions will be replaced by integrated Police Geo Boundaries and placed under unified commands, namely regional police command, one county police command, and one sub-county police command.
The changes will be effected immediately according to Matiang'i, who insisted that he's keen to improve the welfare of the police.
Both Adminstration and Regular Police have been in the past accused of unprofessionalism in the manner they handle security matters.
On Wednesday, two civilians were allegedly shot by the police in Kisii precipitating locals to kill one of the officers in the latest debacle within security forces.
New training shall be carried out to realign officers in line with the latest changes.
