Former DCI boss George Kinoti has made his first public appearance since he left office late last year.
Kinoti who has been keeping a low profile since he was redeployed to the Public Service Commission after President William Ruto took charge of the country had attended the book launch of former Head of Public Service Ambassador Francis Muthaura.
The book 'A Moving Horizon' was launched at Serena Hotel, in Nairobi.
Kinoti's exit as the Director of Criminal Investigations was announced by President William Ruto in September 2022.
Ruto said he had received the resignation and that someone else would hold the position in an acting capacity.
“The commission will get someone to act in that position for now as we wait for the other processes to fill the position,” Ruto said.
Kinoti was on the receiving end from Ruto and his team during the campaign period.
He had served as the DCI boss for four years.
At the time, the President also announced that Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai had proceeded on terminal leave. Mutyambai had six months left before retiring.
In October of the same year, the National Police Service Commission approved the transfer of services for the former Director General Directorate of Criminal Investigation to the Public Service Commission.
This was on condition that Kinoti would remain with remuneration and privileges personal to himself, with effect from September 27, 2022 until attainment of mandatory retirement age.
Kinoti had resigned as the DCI director but remained an officer in the National Police Service.
Ruto later appointed the director of Internal Affairs Unit Mohamed Amin as the new Director of Criminal Investigations, replacing Kinoti.
