DCI’s Amin Voted Africa’s Delegate To The Interpol Executive
Kenya achieved a significant diplomatic and security milestone with the election of Mohamed Amin, Director of Criminal Investigations, as Africa’s Delegate to the Interpol Executive Committee.
The announcement came during the 93rd Interpol General Assembly, which was held in Marrakech, Morocco.
Amin’s election propels Kenya to the forefront of global police policy for the next three years, marking one of the country’s most significant achievements in international law enforcement collaboration.
He will serve with Tunisia’s Issam Fetoui, Africa’s second representative.

In addition, Lucas Philippe of France was elected Interpol president for a four-year term, while Wang Yong of China was elected Vice-President for Asia for three years.
Other regional delegates elected were Kazumi Ogasawara of Japan as Delegate for Asia and Stefano Carvelli of Italy as Delegate for Europe.
Kenya’s delegation to the Assembly had strong diplomatic support from Jessica M. Gakinya, Billy Mathu of Kenya’s embassy in Rabat, and Eva Nthoki, Head of the Candidatures Division at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Their actions showed Kenya’s growing prominence in multilateral security initiatives, a statement stated.

“I am deeply honoured to take on this responsibility as Delegate for Africa to the Interpol Executive Committee,” Amin told Member States in his acceptance remarks.
“Your confidence in my candidacy reflects Kenya’s commitment to international policing and the importance of partnership across our regions.”
