New DCI director Mohammed Amin was Wednesday sworn into office in a ceremony presided over by Chief Justice Martha Koome at the Supreme Court in Nairobi.
Amin said he was ready for the task and promised to carry out his mandate without prejudice.
Amin who previously headed the Internal Affairs Unit of the National Police Service said he was happy to be back home at the DCI.
"Most of my time has been in the directorate and I'm happy to be back home," he said.
Amin said he wants to be accessible to persons who might need his assistance. He told Kenyans to reach him on 0722415419.
"I will always be available and for purposes of records, I would like to give out my number which is, 0722415419, so that any member of the public or any other person who feels like reaching out to me can easily do so," he said.
He pledged to work with all strategic partners to ensure they deliver on the mandate of the directorate.
"I will endeavour to lead DCI in the most professional manner and respect human rights, and adhere to the supreme law of the land and constitution of Kenya."
Amin will take over from former DCI boss George Kinoti who resigned in September. He was transferred to Public Service Commission.
