NAIROBI Kenya, February 13 -The head of the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), John Onyango has been named the new deputy Director of Criminal Investigations.
Onyango, an Assistant Inspector General (AIG), and also the former Nyanza region DCI boss replaces Nicholas Ireri Kamwende who has retired.

More changes are expected within the National Police Service with over 20 senior police officers expected to retire this year
The Nyanza region police boss Manasse Musyoka has also retired and has been replaced by the former commandant of Kenya Police Railways and Ports Commandant, Patrick Tito.
The DCI Amin has also transferred the Sub-County DCI bosses for Langata, Starehe and Kasarani within Nairobi region.
Among the senior officers expected to retire this year are AIGs Gideon Ngumi, Philip Ndolo, Frederick Lai, Noah Mwivanda, Bashane Omar and Edward Mwamburi among others.

Last year, the government said it was ready to give the necessary support required by the retired police officers to enable them participate and work closely with the necessary administrative segments, to foster security and improve safety of the people and their property.
The officers are to be supported since they can mentor and train the current working force because they had acquired a wide knowledge and experience from their long service.
