National Police Service (NPS) spokesman Charles Owino has been angered by the Inspector General’s decision to demote him.
Owino was demoted from a luxurious position in front of cameras and the public eye to deputy director of Kenya National Focal Point on Small Arms and Light Weapons (KNFP).
“This move is aimed at stifling my 2022 ambition to become Siaya’s Governor. My detractors have been funded by the current governor whom I investigated in an alleged murder case.I couldn’t be bribed with 50 shillings notes like my subordinates. I am worth millions.”
Owino said he will neither back down from the gubernatorial race nor resign from public office as required by the constitution for any political seat contestant.
“Even if they demote me I am still the police. We are above the law.”
His friends disclosed he will use his new position to save money for his campaign though he had been using his former position to skim cash from the top.
Owino’s rumoured successors include the current NPS deputy spokesman Charles Kosgey and Trans Nzoia County police commander Fredrick Ochieng,
