Mutyambai leaves office after President Ruto handed the National Police Service financial independence, Ruto assigned the police Inspector General as the accounting officer of the National Police Service.

As the accounting officer, the IG will be required to keep the Interior CS updated on all financial matters and provide information and reports as may be directed.

Kinoti on the other hand faced the axe because of his active participation in politics that led to the August 9 general elections.
