His appointment follows President William Ruto’s directive to appoint someone to act in Kinoti’s place and advertise the position which it had already done.

"I have also received the resignation of the Director General of CID Mr. Kinoti and I have transmitted the same to the National Police Service to proceed with advertising that position and meanwhile they should get somebody to act in the place of Mr. Kinoti," Ruto said.
