The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson M. Ingonga called on law enforcement agencies across the Commonwealth to deepen collaboration in tackling terrorism, money laundering, and other transnational organized crimes.
Speaking at the official opening of the 23rd Heads of Prosecuting Agencies Conference (HOPAC) in Mombasa, Ingonga emphasized the importance of joint efforts through platforms such as the Extremism (CVE) Unit, the Commonwealth Cyber Declaration Programme, and the Commonwealth Security Group (CSG).
“These initiatives are critical opportunities to strengthen our effectiveness in addressing threats to national and international security,” said Ingonga.
He also highlighted the need to support interventions beyond prosecution, including reconstruction, disengagement, reintegration and reconciliation, to address the root causes of terrorism and ensure long-term peace and stability.
Ingonga urged delegates to leverage the HOPAC forum to engage in candid conversations and develop strategies for enhanced international cooperation.
“Let us seize this opportunity to build bridges, break down barriers, and forge an unbreakable chain of collaboration,” he said.
