The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) participated in the Kenya School of Law (KSL) 2026 Career Fair themed “The Bar Begins at the Kenya School of Law,” where students undertaking the Advocates Training Programme (ATP) received practical guidance, mentorship and career insights from distinguished legal practitioners, including prosecutors.

Ms. Christine Gakobo, OGW, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, shared her professional journey with the mentees and highlighted the diverse career opportunities available within the prosecution service. She encouraged students to pursue excellence, embrace continuous learning and explore emerging areas of legal specialization.

Drawing from her experience as a prosecutor, Ms. Gakobo noted that the ODPP offers a wide range of career pathways beyond courtroom. She explained that throughout her career she had specialized in areas such as Child Justice, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), homicide prosecutions and economic crimes, demonstrating the breadth of opportunities available within the institution.

Also present was the Acting Assistant Director of KSL, Mr. Justus Munyithya, who delivered welcoming remarks on behalf of the Acting Director KSL Mr. Isaac Kuloba.

ODPP engages public in Dialogue on Justice and Prosecution Services

The Office today joined the International Justice Mission and other stakeholders in the criminal justice system at a Community Dialogue organized by the National Police Service in Nairobi County aimed at enhancing public understanding of the justice system and strengthening trust between citizens and justice institutions.

The forum brought together members of the public from diverse backgrounds and age groups, creating a platform for open engagement, learning and reflection on how the justice system operates and how it can better respond to the needs of citizens.

Mr. Alex Gituma, Head of ODPP Makadara, explained the critical role played by the Office in safeguarding justice and upholding the rule of law. He simplified the criminal justice process, enabling wananchi to better understand the Office's responsibilities and how prosecution decisions are made.

Further, he clarified the complaint-handling mechanisms and engagement channels in the office and assured members of the public of the Office's open-door policy and commitment to accessible, responsive service delivery.

Following the plenary session, participating institutions held interactive breakout forums, allowing members of the public to engage directly with justice sector representatives in one-on-one discussions. The sessions provided an opportunity for citizens to seek clarification on legal and procedural matters affecting them.

Participants were further sensitized on the ODPP's mandate, functions and key policies, including decision-making on charging of suspects, plea bargaining and the diversion programme, which offers alternative approaches to resolving certain criminal matters.

To support continued public awareness, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials were distributed, equipping participants with reference materials to help them better navigate the criminal justice system and access justice services when needed.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), led by the Secretary Prosecution Services, Mr. Alloys Kemo, OGW, joined children and staff at Blessed Generation Children’s Home, Malindi in commemorating the Day of the African Child through a meaningful outreach initiative aimed at promoting children’s welfare, dignity and protection.

The event, held in line with this year’s theme, “Ensuring Universal Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Every Child in Africa,” brought together children, caregivers, representatives from Directorate of Criminal Investigations and ODPP staff in a celebration that emphasized the importance of safeguarding children’s rights and ensuring their wellbeing.

While addressing the gathering, the Secretary Prosecution Services who delivered a speech on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions reflected on the significance of the Day of the African Child, which is marked annually on 16th June since 1991 in honour of the courageous black children of Soweto, South Africa, who in 1976 protested for their right to an education.

Mr. Kemo noted that this year’s theme highlights the importance of access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene as a basic right for every child. He emphasized that children deserve safe and healthy environments where they can live, learn and grow with dignity.

“At the ODPP, our role is to ensure that those who break the law are held accountable and that justice is served. We work closely with other government agencies to protect children from abuse, neglect, violence, and all forms of exploitation,” he stated.

He further encouraged the children to embrace proper hygiene practices, including regular hand washing, maintaining cleanliness and drinking safe water to protect their health and wellbeing. He observed that access to proper sanitation facilities in schools and homes helps prevent diseases and supports effective learning by ensuring children remain healthy and focused in class.

The Secretary Prosecution Services also reminded the children that they have a right to protection and justice, urging them not to fear reporting anyone who violates their rights.

“The ODPP cares for children. We listen to you, and whenever a child’s rights are infringed, we work together with our partners to ensure appropriate action is taken,” he affirmed.

Speaking during the event, Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecution Ms. Jacinta Nyamosi said the ODPP had deliberately chosen to celebrate the Day of the African Child with children in Malindi as part of efforts to educate them about their rights and empower them to speak out against abuse and exploitation. She noted that creating awareness among children is essential in strengthening child protection and ensuring that every child grows up in a safe and supportive environment.

The children also benefited from a mentorship session led by Principal Prosecution Counsel Ms. Linda Ndambiri, who encouraged them to remain focused on their education, uphold discipline and make positive life choices. She urged the children to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams despite the challenges they may face in life.

As part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the ODPP team donated food items and other essential supplies to support the children’s home. The visit also provided an opportunity for the team to interact with the children, share words of encouragement, and reaffirm the institution’s commitment to promoting child protection and social responsibility.

To commemorate the occasion and promote environmental conservation, the team planted trees within the institution’s compound, symbolizing hope, growth and a sustainable future for the younger generation.

The event concluded with a renewed call for collective responsibility in ensuring that no child is left behind in accessing clean water, sanitation, hygiene, protection and quality care.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has secured a landmark conviction against a man charged with multiple offences under the Excise Duty Act, 2015 and the Anti-Counterfeit Act, 2008, after he was sentenced to pay a fine of Ksh 9,213,972.478 and, in default, serve 4 years in prison.

The sentence followed a judgment delivered on 10th June 2026 by Resident Magistrate Hon. Renna Jakinda at Kenol Law Courts.

In her judgment, Hon. Jakinda found that the prosecution led by Ms. Peris Gathu had proved all the charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt by calling a total of 11 witnesses in support of the case.

Dennis Muiruri Kamande faced six counts of charges, including manufacturing excisable goods (alcohol) without an excise duty license, being in possession of excisable goods (alcohol) acquired in contravention of the Act, being in possession of excisable goods affixed with counterfeit excise stamps, and being in possession, in the course of trade, of counterfeit goods.

The court heard that on 21st September 2023, at New Farm Village along Markfirst–Kwa Jimmy Road in Ithanga/Kakuzi Sub-County, Murang’a County, the accused was found manufacturing and possessing various excisable alcoholic products without the requisite license.

During the investigation, the investigators recovered 60 bottles and 287 cans of different alcohol brands as well as 320 litres of ethanol and one reel of counterfeit excise stamps.

The conviction underscores the ODPP’s commitment to combating illicit trade, tax evasion, and the circulation of counterfeit goods, which undermine legitimate businesses, deprive the government of revenue, and pose significant risks to public health and safety.

In a continued effort to strengthen prosecutorial capacity in combating complex financial crimes, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), in collaboration with GIZ, conducted a week-long specialized training programme on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) strategies, prioritization of prosecution of money laundering offences, and counter financing of terrorism in line with Kenya’s risk profile.

The training brought together prosecutors from across the country and focused on strengthening technical competence in the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing offences, with emphasis on emerging financial crime typologies, risk-based case prioritization, inter-agency coordination, and evidentiary management in financial investigations.

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Secretary Prosecution Services Mr. Alloys Kemo, OGW expressed confidence that the training would enhance investigative capacity, strengthen prosecutions, and improve disruption of criminal networks. He urged continued collaboration, professionalism, and innovation in combating financial crimes.

"As we move forward, let us remain committed to fostering collaboration, professionalism, and innovation in our collective fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. Through our combined efforts, we can strengthen public confidence in our Office, protect our financial system, and contribute to a safer and more secure Kenya," he said.

Mr. Kemo further addressed the decision to charge and prosecutorial review, emphasizing integrity, evidentiary assessment, and adherence to legal thresholds.

Participants were introduced to the global AML/CFT framework, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF); its recommendations; mutual evaluation process; and immediate outcomes, with emphasis on implications for prosecutorial effectiveness and Kenya’s compliance with international standards.

Mr. Vincent Monda, 'ndc' (K), OGW, Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, guided participants on the legal and institutional framework for combating money laundering and terrorism financing in Kenya, anchored on the Constitution, POCAMLA, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, and related legislation. He further outlined the institutional coordination framework, including the roles of agencies involved in prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of financial crimes.

Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) was also explored as a key mechanism for cross-border cooperation in evidence gathering, asset tracing, freezing, confiscation, and recovery of proceeds of crime, alongside challenges such as language barriers, grounds for refusal, and procedural delays affecting international cooperation. Mr. Monda further underscored the importance of these frameworks in supporting Kenya’s efforts to exit the FATF grey list through stronger investigations and asset recovery.

Further discussions led by Mr. James Machirah covered Kenya’s FATF mutual evaluation process, the Terrorism Financing National Risk Assessment (TF NRA), and the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) process, highlighting their significance in strengthening the national AML/CFT framework.

Dr. Marcellar Odero introduced terrorism financing concepts, focusing on identification methods and red flag indicators, while highlighting the importance of early detection in disrupting illicit networks.

The training also covered money laundering stages, emerging trends, and typologies under the facilitation of Ms. Terry Kahoro, ADPP, emphasizing the need for adaptive prosecutorial responses to evolving criminal methods.

Mr. Alex Akula, ADPP, addressed money laundering risk assessment, vulnerabilities within financial systems, and risk management processes, while Ms. Irene Boke (GIZ) led discussions on beneficial ownership and entity risk assessment as tools for preventing misuse of corporate structures.

Parallel financial investigations, ancillary orders, and record-keeping in money laundering cases were covered by Abdisalam Bore, with emphasis on strengthening inter-agency coordination to improve evidentiary outcomes.

From a typologies perspective, Mr. Edwin Sikini (GIZ) took participants through crypto-related laundering schemes, cash mule networks, and emerging digital financial threats, underscoring the need for adaptive prosecutorial approaches.

The training further addressed predicate offences such as human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and narcotics trafficking and their linkage to money laundering investigations.

Mr. Harrison Kiarie guided participants on terrorism financing prosecutions, covering investigative approaches, financial analysis, special investigative techniques, chain of custody, and case preparation.

Ms. Annette Wangia, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, highlighted asset forfeiture as a key strategy in depriving criminals of illicit proceeds and disrupting criminal enterprises.
