DPP, EACC, and DCI chiefs forge stronger alliance to tackle crime
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson Ingonga Thursday evening held a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Abdi Mohamud, and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohamed Amin to discuss crime.
The meeting focused on strengthening inter-agency collaboration in the fight against corruption and other criminal offences across the country.
The three leaders reaffirmed their commitment to working closely in the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases to ensure justice, accountability, and effective law enforcement.
“It is imperative that we forge alliance in efforts to contain any form of crime. We are here for that,” said Ingonga.
They underscored the importance of mutual engagement, information sharing, and coordinated strategies to enhance efficiency in tackling complex criminal cases and upholding the rule of law in Kenya.
This comes amid growing concerns over rise of all forms of crime. These include cyber related crimes, corruption, murder, stealing and fraud among others.
Insiders said the officials pledged to ensure the crimes are fought through all available means.
Meanwhile, Ingonga reaffirmed Kenya’s leadership role in advancing the fight against corruption and economic crimes as he hosted a delegation from Nigeria’s Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for a benchmarking visit at the ODPP Headquarters.
The visit, led by Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the ICPC, brought together senior officials of the Commission, the Chairperson of the Anti-Corruption Committee from the Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives, and members of the Corruption and Financial Crimes Cases Trial Committee.
The DPP underscored the importance of strong international partnerships in addressing corruption and economic crimes, emphasizing that such engagements provide opportunities to share Kenya’s prosecutorial innovations and strengthen Africa’s collective capacity to tackle corruption.
Ingonga highlighted Kenya’s progress in developing effective prosecution frameworks, enhancing inter-agency collaboration, and leveraging technology through tools such as the Uadilifu Case Management System.
He noted that the ODPP continues to champion evidence-led, technology-driven, and collaborative approaches to ensure accountability and integrity in public service.
