Kenya’s police Chief Japheth Koome resigned today following intense criticism of officers’ conduct during recent anti-government protests that left at least 39 people dead.
The office of President William Ruto announced Koome’s resignation the day after Ruto sacked nearly his entire cabinet, bowing to the demands of protesters.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja has been appointed acting police chief with immediate effect, the presidency said. END.
