Tuesday, September 17, 2024 - Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has confirmed today that the National Police Service has reinstated the security detail for High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi.
Speaking on Tuesday, Masengeli said the security detail was replaced by two VIP protection officers from the Judiciary Police Unit.
He insisted that despite having
security officers seconded to provide protection to other state agencies, they
remain under the command of the National Police Service and the IG may reassign
them where he deems fit.
"Police Officers seconded
to all government institutions, remain serving officers of the National Police
Service and their deployment or reassignment remains the mandate of the
IG," Masengeli said.
"In the case of Justice
Mugambi, the two security officers in question are general duty officers and
were therefore recalled to attend VIP security training, and were replaced by
two VIP protection officers from the Judiciary Police Unit," he said.
His remarks come hours after he
had explained that the said officers had been recalled for a training session.
