The National Police Service Commission is vetting twelve candidates shortlisted last week to be Deputy Inspector General of the Kenya Police Service.
This comes after Edward Mbugua's resignation on March 10.
The 30 applicants were narrowed down to 12 candidates.
The screening will take place at the Kenya School of Government in Lower Kabete, Nairobi.
Bruno Shioso, the current commandant of the Kignajo Police College and a former police spokesperson; Douglas Kanja, the director of the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU); Birech David Kipkosgei, and Bunei Rono, the commander of the Eastern Region Police, are among those who have been shortlisted for the position.
