"At least one person gets killed every two days in Kenya’s capital city,
Nairobi. Most of these cases are never resolved. Only 94 murder cases were
registered in Nairobi courts in 2021.
Nairobi is Kenya’s most populous city with more than four million people. Like
other major cities across Africa, it grapples with crime amid the strained
provision of policing services. Kenya was ranked fourth in the 2021 Organised
Crime Index in Africa, with the 2022 Economic Survey reporting that Nairobi
regularly records the highest number of crimes in the country.
The swift progress the Directorate of Criminal Investigations made in
investigating the murder of Dutch businessman Tob Cohen, who had lived in Kenya
for years, is largely unheard of. Investigators drawn from the directorate’s
homicide unit took less than two months to unravel Cohen’s 2019 murder and
apprehend the perpetrators.
The country’s criminal justice system has a history of failing to crack
high-profile murders. Cases are characterised by shambolic investigations that
eventually lead to their being dismissed due to a lack of evidence."
