We are saddened on the news of the death of veteran Police Officer and former Inspector General of Police Ephraim Mateyo who passed away at Maina Soko Military yesterday.
During his watch as Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mateyo fought criminality and lawlessness impeccably and without fear or favour and ensured peace prevailed in the nation, above any other interest.
The Law Enforcement community and citizens have lost a disciplinarian and a repository of knowledge and expertise in crime prevention and law and order. Our prayers are with the nation and his family. May his soul rest in peace.
