DCI boss MOHAMED AMIN’s history as an ICC witness over 2007/2008 election violence sparks reactions amid ALBERT OJWANG death case
Sunday, June 15, 2025 - The death of blogger and teacher, Albert Ojwang, in police custody has cast a harsh spotlight on the National Police Service, drawing public outrage and calls for accountability. Inspector General Kanja, Deputy IG Eliud Lagat - whose complaint led to Albert’s arrest - and DCI boss, Mohammed Amin, are all under scrutiny. Amin has defended DCI officers who arrested Ojwang in Homa Bay and transferred him to Nairobi Central Police Station, stating that the blogger was in good health upon booking. However, newly retrieved CCTV footage from Mbagathi Hospital suggests otherwise - Ojwang appears to have been brought in already dead, directly contradicting Amin’s claim. Now, online, speculation is swirling that Amin’s appointment as DCI boss by President Ruto, who was among the accused, was a reward for his role in the collapsed ICC case linked to the 2007–2008 post-election violence. At the time, Amin served as the Rift Valley Provincial Criminal Investigations Officer and later testified at The Hague in defense of former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali. He supported the narrative that the violence, which left over 1,000 dead, was spontaneous - not planned. See the reactions below.The Kenyan DAILY POST
