10 top ranking individuals including Former National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende have been shortlisted for police team boss.
The 10 candidates are expected to attend interviews in Nairobi to determine who is best suited to replace Johnstone Kavuludi as the chairman of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

Others in the list are former Transition Authority chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi, former International Criminal Court Judge Joyce Aluoch, Dr Zachary Mwangi, Elijah Kodoh, Peter ole Nkuraiyia and Mukhtar Abdi.
The interviews scheduled for Monday and Tuesday will be conducted by a panel gazetted by President Uhuru Kenyatta in November 2018.
The panel comprises Kennedy Kihara who represents the Cabinet, Stephen Kirogo from the Public Service Commission and Anne Amadi from the Judiciary.
Kagwiria Mbogori from the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and Joyce Mwikali from the National Gender and Equality Commission are also in the panel.
