Nine experts trained to examine forged documents join DCI

9 document examination experts were on Thursday incorporated into the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI).

The nine who meet the global threshold for certified documents examiners received their certification after rigorous training in Forensic Science institutions in France, Australia, India and the Regional Forensic Science Centre in Khartoum, Sudan.

“You should discharge your duties driven by passion, integrity and rule of law and reign in on criminals defrauding Kenyan’s off their hard earned resources, through forgery,” Director DCI George Kinoti said.

They hold academic qualifications in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Statistics and are now trained experts in examination of Handwritings and Signatures, Forged Passports, Visas and Identity Cards, Credit and Debit Cards, Invisible Writings, Computer Prints, Seals and Stamps among others.

They will be joining the Forensic Documents Examination Section.
