New Coast security bosses take office, more transfers reported

The new Mombasa County Police Commander Augustine Nthumbi toured Kisauni, Nyali and Likoni sub counties which are notorious for gang attacks and drug trafficking.

Mr Nthumbi, who is from Uasin Gishu County, was taken round by his predecessor Johnston Ipara.

Speaking to journalists at Likoni Police Station on Wednesday, Mr Ipara said: “We have gone to the all stations and we want to complete our tour by visiting Kisauni and Nyali sub counties. We will have a meeting with all the sub county commanders before I proceed to my new station.”  

SWAPPED POSITIONS

This came even as it emerged that deputy county commissioners in the three sub counties have also been replaced.

Mr Kipchumba Ruto, who was in charge of Kisauni, has swapped positions with Mathioya Deputy County Commissioner Jamleck Mutembei.
