Former Police Spokesperson Charles Owino has handed over to his successor Bruno Isohi Shioso.
In a ceremony held at the National Police Service (NPS) headquarters at Jogoo House, Owino expressed confidence in Isohi.
“I have known Shioso for the last 29 years and I can declare I have faith in him. He will handle the docket professionally given his background and experience in the service. I believe the IGP made the right decision,” he said.
Owino who has expressed his interest in running for Siaya governorship next year, said Isohi’s experience in both investigations and general policing will come in handy in handling the docket.
