Nakuru Vetting process of police officers in the ranks of Senior Superintendent of police and superintendent of police entered the second day.
During the vetting process, former police spokesman Charles Owino shocked the vetting panel after revealing that he is worth millions.
Owino told the Kavuludi led panel that he has two companies, one of which deals with clearing and forwarding thus the huge reflection of cash deposits in his bank accounts.
He however failed to reveal amounts of money in his wife’s bank account and one of his account said to be dormant.
When asked why he is frequently transferred, the outspoken officer who served as OCPD Njoro prior to his transfer to kisumu said that it is as a result of his firm position on different issues, especially on corruption.
He however denied allegations that his transfers are prompted by radicalisation.
The officer who appeared calm and sometimes laughed off some questions said that he has “cure to most of the problems facing the police service” adding, “The National Police Service Commission should make use of my available time when there is still time.”
Narok OCPD Paul Kipchumba Leting when given an opportunity to speak his mind said that it was important for the commission to push for improvement of police welfare including remuneration and most importantly regular training to match with demands.
Kipchumba also said that it was important to ensure that more officers are hired to replace those who exit the service through retirement, death and resignation.
He gave an example of the recent chaos witnessed in Narok where he said they were forced to seek reinforcement from as far as Nakuru and Kisii.
He noted that the situation would have been worse if the two divisions encountered a similar problem at the same time.
