Patrick Tito
Patrick Tito is a Kenyan police officer who served as the principal assistant to Eliud Kipkoech Lagat, the Deputy Inspector General of the Kenya Police Service. He has recently been in the news due to a petition filed by activist Eliud Karanja Matindi, which seeks to bar him from assuming DIG duties in Lagat's absence. The petition raises questions about the constitutional authority of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) in appointing an acting DIG and argues that Lagat's decision to step aside amid controversy should not empower Tito to take over responsibilities.
