The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti has been elected to the INTERPOL Executive Committee, during the 89th session of the INTERPOL General Assembly, in Istanbul, Turkey.

INTERPOL works in conjunction with all member countries and international organizations including the United Nations to combat international crime.

Mr Kinoti will together with Mr Khaled Mahdi Ibrahim ELEMAM of Sudan represent Africa for 3 years, at the security organ that brings together over 195 member states from across the world.

Mr Kinoti acknowledged the efforts put in place by member countries in crime management and called upon them to work together, especially in the fight against terrorism.

“The realization that we cannot fight this monster alone has contributed to the successes that we have registered across the world so far, as a result of cooperation and information sharing between our different countries and security agencies,” he said.

Mr Kinoti’s election is an endorsement of the strategies that our country has put in place in the management of crime, especially in counter terrorism, organised crime, cyber crime and transnational crimes among others.
