The IG nominee said his appointment as IG inspires thousands of police officers who join the service as constable saying he did join like them but he has managed to rise the ranks to the IG.
"Fellow officers are excited about this nomination because one of their own who joined as a Constable is now being vetted as Inspector General," Koome said.
"A Constable in Marsabit now has hopes of becoming an Inspector General."
If approved, Koome will take over the office from acting IG Noor Gabow who is serving in an acting capacity.
Gabow was handed the office after IG Hillary Mutyambai proceeded on terminal leave.
