Allan Sangoro who has been at the peace keeping mission in South Sudan was posted at the Kenya Railways to succeed Ombati.

Odero has been at the Rift Valley station as the RPC for almost five years during which he led among others the war against banditry.

He has managed to lead the multi agency team in the area to contain the menace in most of the affected areas.

Some areas however remain unstable after repeated attacks from the bandits amid ongoing operations.

Ombati was deployed to the region amid ongoing operations on the bandits and other forms of crime in general.
