The Director of Criminal Investigations, George Kinoti, who is also INTERPOL’s Africa representative, is currently attending the inaugural executive committee session for delegates from Africa, at the Interpol Headquarters in Leone, France.
The meeting chaired by INTERPOL’s Secretary General Jürgen Stock, follows the election of the Executive Committee in November last year, where Kenya was elected to represent the continent in the global body. Mr Kinoti’s election to the key decision making body was an
endorsement of the strategies that DCI has continued to implement in the fight against crime, not only in the country but also in the region.
In addition, DCI also hosts the regional INTERPOL Bureau bringing together 14 countries, the National Central Bureau and the Eastern
Africa Counter-Terrorism Centre of Excellence, making DCI the seat of inter-agency investigations regionally. @Mrobkoto#FichuakwaDCI 0800 722 203.
