“These promotions recognize the dedication and hard work of our officers. We expect them to take up their new roles with even greater commitment to serving the people of Murang’a,” said Kimwele..
Kimwele emphasized that with greater rank comes greater responsibility adding that to whom much is given much is expected.
He urged all promoted officers to lead by example, mentor their juniors, and uphold the values of integrity, professionalism, and accountability in their service.
Pauline Muriithi, the county Administration Police Commander Said that the promotion is a call to serve the citizens with diligence, professionalism, and integrity.
“ Those who were promoted are bestowed with expectations placed upon them, reminding them that the people of Kenya and Murang’a are counting on them to maintain law and order, protect lives and property, and uphold the highest ethical standards in their service,” said Ms Muriithi.
Murang’a Criminal Investigations Officer Mr Obed Kibiego praised the promotions, stating that they will boost crime investigation efforts in the county.
