The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP)
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Renson Ingonga, OGW, hosted H.E. Dr. Roberto Natali, the Italian Ambassador to Kenya, and his delegation to discuss potential areas of collaboration.
During the meeting, they discussed enhancing collaboration between the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and Italy’s Prosecutor General’s Office under the Supreme Court of Cassation. Their focus was on tackling transnational organized crimes, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering, which necessitate mutual legal assistance and international cooperation for extradition purposes.
To advance this, both parties agreed on establishing a Memorandum of Understanding to improve justice administration in criminal matters and uphold human rights. They also emphasized on the need for specialized training and capacity building for prosecutors to advance their skills, enhance investigations, and promote better information sharing among law enforcement agencies.
