Nairobi has a New Police Commander

Deputy Inspector General of Police Edward Mbugua announced on saturday afternoon that Nairobi County has a new Police commander.
“:The new Nairobi Region Police Commander is Rashid Yakub who has been in Mombasa in the same capacity.” Mbugua said and also added that the same changes will be applied to Mombasa county.
Yakub worked as the Western Regional Police Commander since 2019 before he was moved to coast in the same capacity. 
 He once accused Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko of assault and resisting arrest at Ikanga strip, Voi in December 2019, but later he withdrew the charge. 
The changes in Nairobi come in the midst of chaos being witnessed at City Hall, which insiders say may have prompted the decision to effect the changes.
 On Tuesday, authorities dispatched the Head of Operations at Vigilance House, James Mwaniki, to head to City Hall to quell chaos between MCAs following claims that those at the scene were reluctant to take action.
 But police headquarters said the Friday changes are normal and only aimed at boosting police operations.
