Inspector General of Police Joseph
As Boinnet exits office after serving his four-year tenure, the former spy has said he is proud of having achieved numerous reforms at the National Police Service. Here are some hilarious comments that Kenyans had as Boinnet exited office:
Boinnet did a wonderful job. He tried his very best, you could actually read seriousness and determination on his face right from the word go. With his kind of zeal, i believe the gentleman still has enormous potential that could be deployed and exploited elsewhere.

On Monday, Boinnet outlined on Twitter some of the achievements he was able to accomplish during his tenure in office, notably highlighting a significant number of reforms he spearheaded. He has said under his watch, the service was able to be given enough tools of work that have gone a long way in making the operations of the police easier. For instance, he has attributed the quick response of officers in emergency situations through the motor vehicle leasing programme as part of the tools allocated to the service.
@JBoinnet Like I told those before you and specifically @IGkimaiyo walk tall, police work is never easy world over. Deep down you know you served your country with dignity. Once more, walk tall and all the best in your future endeavors.

Other notable achievements Boinnet is proud of in his tenure is the upgrading of housing units for the police with a house allowance allocated to officers across all the ranks. Over the years, several members of the police have been leaving in squalid conditions. “Police officers in the general duty will henceforth rent their own houses and live within the communities they serve as opposed to living in congested police lines as has been the case since Independence. These and many other milestones have been achieved for the sole purpose of ensuring that officers discharge their duties effectively,” he said.
He come he did what he had to do and we wish him all the very best he brought some changes the current police reforms have been well handled BUT HIS BIGGEST FAILURE WAS TRAFFIC COPS he did succeed in fighting corruption in traffic dept
