Chief Justice Martha Koome has tasked the National Police Service, under the leadership of Inspector General Douglas Kanja and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga, to follow the law when handling terrorism charges and accusations.
Speaking on Friday, July 25, CJ Koome emphasised the need for continuous knowledge acquisition and the enhancement of skills and competencies to effectively address the evolving threat of terrorism and its impact on national and global peace and security.
She referenced the strong foundation provided by the 2010 Constitution to law enforcement, the DPP, who is the Chief Prosecutor, and Kenyan courts on how to approach terrorism cases. "The law sets out clear thresholds of what constitutes terrorism," CJ Koome stated.
