Director of the National Central Bureau (NCB)–Kenya Ibrahim Jillo was elected to the INTERPOL Africa Committee by a majority vote of African member countries.
This was during the 27th INTERPOL African Regional Conference in Cape Town, South Africa.
Jillo will serve a four-year term in the Committee, representing Kenya and contributing to critical decision-making in the fight against transnational organised crime, terrorism, and financial crimes across the continent.
This election reflects strong confidence in Kenya’s leadership and its unwavering commitment to enhancing regional and international cooperation in law enforcement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said.
During the meeting, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohammed Amin, delivered a compelling address urging for cooperation to address emerging crimes.
The three-day gathering, which began on 27 August, 2025 brought together security leaders from across the continent under the theme:
“Leveraging Cooperation, Innovation, and Partnerships to Fight Transnational Organised Crime.”
Amin emphasized the devastating impact of financial crimes not just on economies, but on the everyday lives of citizens.
“When money is stolen through corruption or fraud, it’s not just figures on a spreadsheet, it’s schools not built, medicines not bought, and dreams denied,” he said.
