Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has nominated the Director of Criminal Investigations boss, Mohammed Amin, as Kenya's candidate for election to the INTERPOL Executive Committee, representing the African region.
The move by the CS is aimed at amplifying Africa's voice in global security.
The elections are set to take place during the 93rd session of the INTERPOL General Assembly, scheduled to take place in Marrakech, Morocco, from November 24 to 27.
Speaking on Friday during the 11th RECSA (Regional Centre on Small Arms and Light Weapons) Council in Nairobi, the Interior CS urged the members to support Amin's candidacy, terming it a national milestone and a continental opportunity to shape global policing policy.
