The National Police Service (NPS) Airwing has a new commandant.
This is after Thomas Kabute, AIG, was on Monday, July 4, 2022, installed as the new Airwing Commandant, taking over the role from Col. (Rtd) Rogers Mbithi.
Mbithi has been redeployed to National Police Service Headquarters.
In a statement shared on their social media pages, the National Police Service said as Thomas Kabute takes over the new assignment, “he brings a wealth of experience and enormous capacity to take the Unit to greater heights.”
“Col. (Rtd) Mbithi hands over the baton to his successor having steered NPS Airwing in the right direction during his tenure,” said the statement.
The NPS Airwing is a Unit of the National Police Service based at Wilson Airport in Nairobi. It was established to support various functions of the service such as aerial support, emergency evacuations and other functions of security interest.
“We congratulate the officers for their previous services and wish them all the best in their new assignments,” NPS said.
