In a statement, Mr Odinga said President Kibaki's appointments of Deputy Inspector General of Police Grace Kaindi, Samuel Arachi to head the Administration Police and Ndegwa Muhoro as CID boss were "unconstitutional as agreement had not been reached with the President about the appointees".
"I had raised my serious objections to the three names that were presented to me in the consultations that were underway,” the PM said Saturday.
Mr Odinga said he had expressed his reservations on the integrity of the three officers and the appointments cannot stand since the issue remains unresolved.
"I had expressed reservations on their integrity, which needs to be unquestioned given the powerful role of the police in every aspect of the nation’s life, including of course the upcoming elections," he said.
"The Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) chairman Macharia Njeru had also issued a scathing report highlighting serious allegations touching on the integrity of CID head Ndegwa Muhoro."
Mr Odinga said IPOA had written to the principals indicating that Mr Muhoro should not be considered for any police job. - Daily Nation
