The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Eliud Lagat, on Thursday afternoon made an impromptu visit to Embu West Sub-county police headquarters on a familiarisation tour.
The DIG is on a tour of various stations across the country for familiarisation cum fact-finding mission on operations and issues affecting police officers.
“I want to visit stations as part of my administration work and management of the day-to-day activities of officers, their conduct, and their morale,” he said.
Lagat came face to face with the deplorable state of some of Police Stations and promised to look into the matter to make them work-friendly.
“We want to make stations look better in due course,” he said while expressing satisfaction with the work and conduct of the officers.
He also promised to look into the operationalisation of an office block put up through Manyatta Constituency NG-CDF in 2021 at a cost of Sh10 million.
“This is one of the matters I will take up to ensure the office block is put to use and alleviate some of the challenges with regard to the poor working environment for our officers,” he said.
