The government has sought the aid of a renowned United States firm in a concerted effort to battle the rising cases of human trafficking.
On Monday, May 12, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) officially entered into a partnership with the United States-based Human Trafficking Institute (HTI) in a landmark moment.
The ODPP revealed in a statement that Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HTI Chief Executive Officer Victor Boutros to boost the country's prosecutorial response to human trafficking offences.
According to ODPP, the partnership is set to inject fresh momentum into the implementation of Kenya's Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act No. 8 of 2010.
