The new director of Anti Terror Police Unit will be Johnstone Kola while outgoing ATPU boss Martin Otieno Omumbo will be deployed at the DCI headquarters.<\/p>\n

Head of Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau Paul Mumo has been redeployed to the Kenya Police Headquarters, Vigilance House Nairobi for further allocation of duties.<\/p>\n

The changes came hours after Mohamed Amin took over office.<\/p>\n

Amin was sworn into office Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The new team consists of experienced officers who will boost Amin\u2019s efforts to address crime in general.<\/p>\n

Most were seen to be close to ex-DCI George Kinoti.<\/p>\n
