Kenya, June 30, 2026 - The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has received advanced technological equipment from the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA), in a move aimed at strengthening Kenya's efforts to combat drug trafficking and other forms of transnational organised crime.
The state-of-the-art equipment, donated through the NCA Nairobi Office, is expected to enhance the operational capabilities of the DCI's Anti-Narcotics Unit by improving its capacity to investigate, disrupt and dismantle criminal networks operating across borders.
The equipment was officially handed over by the NCA's International Liaison Officer in Nairobi, Amanda Hickman, during a ceremony attended by DCI Director Mohamed I. Amin and senior officials from both the Kenyan and UK agencies.
Speaking during the handover, Amin underscored the importance of investing in modern policing technology to keep pace with evolving criminal methods.
"To effectively counter criminal networks that exploit digital technologies and complex financial systems, we must equip ourselves with the right tools," he said.
Hickman reaffirmed the UK's commitment to supporting Kenya's security and law enforcement agencies, saying the donation reflects the confidence the United Kingdom has in the DCI's professionalism and its role in safeguarding national and regional security.
