Muhammed Amin, the Director of Criminal Investigations, urges everyone to stay vigilant as Kenya approaches the 2027 General Election. He warns that proceeds from narcotics trafficking may infiltrate political campaigns or be used to exert influence.
In his briefing, Amin highlighted the need for security agencies to be alert to the dangers posed by illicit financial flows, which could threaten the integrity of our electoral process.
“Significant illicit profits can create protection networks, corrupt public officials, or fund political activities. It’s crucial to document, verify, and investigate any credible links between known traffickers, suspicious financial flows, and electoral financing through the right channels,” Amin stated.
The DCI chief reinforced the importance of conducting these investigations impartially, steering clear of political profiling or interference in legitimate political activities.
He also reminded police officers of their constitutional duty to enforce the law fairly and without bias.
