Masengeli is the Best Pick to Succeed IG Kanja - Mohammed Ali

Ali claimed that Masengeli was the best candidate to restore the public trust in the police.

The Member of Parliament for Nyali Constituency, Mohammed Ali, has weighed in on the conversation about Inspector General Douglas Kanja's succession.

Ali said on Tuesday, September 29, that the Deputy IG, Administration Police Service, Gilbert Masengeli, is the best pick to take over the National Police Service once Kanja retires.

He claimed that Masengeli was the best candidate to restore the public trust in the police.

"At a time when public trust in the police is shaky, Kenyans need an IG with a clean record and proven leadership. If there’s any succession plan, then DIG Gilbert Masengeli should be considered the best fit for the role of IG. This decision is crucial in restoring faith in the Police Service," the MP stated.

The lawmaker, who also doubles as the Wiper Deputy Party Leader, hinted that Masengeli's fellow DIG, Eliud Lagat, was not an option.
