Acting Deputy Inspector General of Police Njoroge Mbugua will also face the Commission with no competitor because no one else applied.
The acting Administration Police boss Noor Gabow is facing competition from two candidates Musa Dhadho and Vincent Makokha.
Members of the public have been invited to submit any information in relation to the shortlisted candidates ahead of Thursday’s interviews.
