DPP ON COMBATING CRIME BY LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY

The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) in Kenya, Renson Ingonga, has reiterated the commitment of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) to leveraging technology to improve its systems and combat terrorism, money laundering, and illicit financial transactions. Ingonga said that transnational criminal organizations are increasingly relying on advanced technologies, thus emphasizing the growing role of technology in combating these global crimes. Addressing the media in Mombasa, he underscored the need for collaboration among member states to tackle complex crimes that transcend borders. He said terrorism as a crime calls for international cooperation, recalling the investigation following the Doucet attack, where Kenyan authorities had to rely on forensic experts and international partners to collect and analyze evidence.
