Ten candidates were recently shortlisted for interviews seeking to find the next Director General of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI). The team is set to replace George Kinoti. Initially, there were 253 applicants. Out of the ten shortlisted, Esther Seroney was the only woman picked. She got the attention of everyone. 

Should Seroney be selected, she would be the first female Director General of the directorate of criminal investigation. Seroney is currently the Bomet County Police Commander (CPC) and previously served in the same position in Homa Bay County. It will be remembered that Seroney was among seven women who were appointed on January 21, 2019, by former Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett as county commanders following the convergence of the various police departments.

Seroney attended the Ortum School of Nursing between 1983 and 1986. Later, Seroney enrolled at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) training school in Nairobi where she took a certificate course in law enforcement in 2002.

In the Government Training Institute, a training institution replaced by the Kenya School of Government, Seroney did a certificate in Middle Management Course in 2004.
