Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga CBS, OGW has been feted at the Digital Transformation Public Sector Awards 2025 in Mombasa.
The DPP came second in the CEO of the Year category, with his recognition associated with the successful roll out of the Uadilifu Case Management System at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
William Kabogo, the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy handed the DPP the award, consisting a plaque and certificate of recognition.
“We are excited by the digital transformation and I assure you the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions will be at the forefront of embracing the digital era,” said the DPP.
The DPP came second from a category of six nominees following a rigorous selection process by a team of judges in the award panel from the public and private sector.
The award comes barely a year after the DPP was elected president of the Africa Prosecutors Association (APA) in Morocco, and two months after he was bestowed with the Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS) award by President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Kabogo vowed to lead the digital transformation in government by introducing paperless correspondences.
The forum which aims to advance digital solutions within government operations, attracted experts and leaders dedicated to driving innovation and efficiency.
The Uadilifu Case Management System is a digital solution that has revolutionized the way the ODPP handles case files, allowing prosecutors to process files more efficiently, drastically reducing turnaround times.
The DPP has consistently emphasized on how the system has improved the working relationship between the ODPP and the Judiciary, particularly with the filing of charge sheets and promised to ensure its successful rollout at the national level.
Present at the event were, Eng. John Tonui, PS for ICT and Digital Economy; John Mutahi, PS for Economic Planning; Dr. Salome Wanjiru, PS for Correctional Services; and Evelyn Cheluget, Director General of Immigration and Citizen Services.
