Nairobi’s Central OCPD Eric Mugambi is among several senior officers who have been moved in a mini-reshuffle announced by police headquarters.

Mugambi moves to Mbeere in the same capacity to replace Mr Tom Odera who has been moved to Imenti North also as the Officer Commanding Police Division.

The changes announced by commissioner of police Mathew Iteere saw Imenti North OCPD James Kithuka sent to Mt Elgon to replace Mr Robinson Mboloi.

Mboloi has been moved to Central to replace Mr Mugambi. The changes also saw former Gigiri OCPD Josek Nasio moved to Nairobi Province as the SSP in charge.

Iteere said the changes are normal aimed at boosting police operations in the country. Central division is one of the most sensitive areas in the country as it is the busiest in the region.

Also moved is Central CID commander Peter Mabeya who moves to Kajiado in the same position. Mabeya swaps position with Nehemia Bitok.

In the changes, Iteere named Joshua Cheptoo as the CID boss for Mwingi, Julius Maina for Ngong and Jackson Makau for Molo.

Michael Sang has been moved to the Capital Markets Authority to head the unit while Molo CID officer Joseph Kioko has been transferred to Western provincial CID headquarters.
