The newly appointed Director of Criminal Investigations, Amin Mohamed, promised to run the agency professionally during his tenure in an exclusive interview with Kenyans.co.ke on Saturday, October 15.
President William Ruto gazetted him as the new DCI boss on October 14.
Hours after his appointment, the new DCI boss stated that he would respect the rule of law while undertaking his mandate.
His office will also be guided by the Constitution as he seeks to enhance security in Kenya.
In particular, he cited Chapter Four of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 (The Bill of Rights), promising to uphold the rights and fundamental freedoms of Kenyan citizens.
"I want to promise my fellow Kenyans that I will run the DCI in the most professional manner possible. I will be firm and fair in executing my duties while observing the rule of law, knowing that our Constitution is the Supreme law of the land.
"Finally, I will ensure that we adhere to constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms," he told Kenyans.co.ke
Mohamed also congratulated his predecessor, George Kinoti, assuring him that he would continue where he left off and complete his projects.
He also promised to work with his colleagues who missed out on the appointment.
"Mine is just to assure him (Kinoti) that we shall pick up from where he has left, and I also thank him for what he has done for the directorate so far.
"I will be reaching out to him and work hand in hand with him," Mohamed stated.
In response to the appointment, Mohamed expressed his gratitude to Ruto and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) for showing faith in him.
Prior to his appointment, he served as a director at the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU) under NPS.
