New Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has taken his first action against Kware Police Station officers days after bodies were discovered just meters away from the station.
According to reports, the new Inspector General on Sunday transferred all police officers stationed at Kware Police Station as investigations into the Kware dumpsite killings and mysterious bodies continues.

While speaking to the media, Kanja said that the transfer of officers was necessary to give investigators ample time to prepare a report that was fair and unbiased and without interference.
“To ensure fair and unbiased investigations, I have moved the officers from Kware Police Station. In this difficult time, we stand with the community and we remain committed to uncovering the truth and bringing those responsible to justice.”
Douglas Kanja added that the security agencies will conduct the investigations and will be concluded in a period of 21 days after collaboration with several security agencies designated with the case.
“Our officers in collaboration with the ODPP are working tirelessly to conclude the investigations within 21 days. The police service and I would like to assure the public that we are committed to conducting transparent, thorough and swift investigations.”
The directive by the new IG comes as Kenyans continue to express their concerns after several dead bodies, some of them mutilated, were discovered at an abandoned quarry-turned-dumpsite in Mukuru Kwa Njenga in Nairobi.
Bodies were found wrapped in polythene bags and tied with ropes. As of Saturday noon, the total number of recovered bodies had risen to 18 with President Ruto directing the DCI to conduct swift and conclusive investigations.
