Joseph Kipchirchir Boinnet was sworn in as Inspector General of the Kenya police service during a ceremony at Harambee House, the Office of the President.
President Uhuru Kenyatta attended the swearing-in ceremony. Deputy President William Ruto was not present at the event.
The circumstances surrounding Boinnet's appointment have raised questions, with some alleging that influential figures from Kenya's past, including former President Moi, played a role in his selection.
