Kinoti expressed his appreciation of the gesture, saying crimes related to illegal wildlife products, narcotics, funds or weapons that support terrorism will be probed quickly apart from document fraud.

He lauded the continued partnership between the DCI and INL saying the cooperation between the two will play an important role in combating organized crime operating in the underworld and also enhance regional surveillance as well as in the US.

The ceremony was also attended by, among others; Assistant Criminal Fraud Investigator for Regional Security Samuel Kamau and the team leader Robert Birir.
