Deputy Inspector General of the Kenya Police Service (DIG-KPS), Eliud Lagat, on August 14, made an impromptu visit to Mwingi and Matuu Police Stations in Kitui and Machakos Counties, respectively.
In a statement issued by the National Police Service, the DIG was visiting to assess the working conditions of officers in different regions when he stopped at the police stations.
During the visit, he hailed the officers for their diligent work, professionalism and commitment to public service.

Lagat toured key sections of the stations, including the Report Office, Children and Gender Office, Cells, Anti-Crime Unit, DCI Offices, Traffic Office, and Police Lines, engaging directly with officers on duty.
The visit comes at a time when the DIG has been under high scrutiny following the killing of influencer Albert Ojwang, who passed on in custody at Nairobi’s Central Police Station on June 7.
The DIG had been implicated in Ojwang’s case after the blogger had allegedly posted defamatory content about him on social media, which allegedly led Lagat to file a formal complaint against him.
