The Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga CBS, OGW, has reaffirmed his office’s unwavering commitment to pursuing justice for victims of police brutality, assuring the public that no case meeting the required legal threshold will go unaddressed.
Speaking on his behalf, the Secretary Prosecution Services underscored the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions’ (ODPP) resolve to ensure accountability and uphold the rule of law. He made the remarks at Ghetto Foundation in Mathare during the launch of the Missing Voices Annual Report 2025.
The Secretary Prosecution Services emphasized that the ODPP remains firmly guided by evidence in its decision-making process, noting that all cases that meet the evidentiary threshold will be promptly forwarded to court and prosecuted to their logical conclusion.
“We are committed to ensuring that justice is served. Any case that meets the evidentiary threshold will be taken to court and prosecuted fully,” he stated, adding that the ODPP will continue to work closely with investigative agencies and stakeholders to strengthen the fight against human rights violations.
He further highlighted that the ODPP has established a specialized division dedicated to handling civil litigation matters, reinforcing the institution’s capacity to address a broad spectrum of legal issues, including those arising from violations of fundamental rights.
The launch of the Missing Voices Report 2025 brought together human rights defenders, civil society organizations, government agencies and community members, all united in the call for enhanced accountability, transparency, and justice for victims and families affected by enforced disappearances and extrajudicial actions.
The DPP’s assurance comes at a time of heightened public concern over cases of police brutality and enforced disappearances, with stakeholders urging stronger institutional responses to safeguard human rights and restore public confidence in the justice system.
