“In the spirit of promoting transparency and accountability, our Jurist has ensured the ODPP is more easily accessible to the public by facilitating access to information through various communications strategies,” ICJ-Kenya noted.
ICJ further noted the continued roll out the ODPP Cafe, a weekly show live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), as an example of measures Haji has undertaken to sensitize the public on the mandate of the ODPP.
The Jurist body also noted that the DPP courage in defending the voiceless, and humility in his service have played a key in restoring faith in the ODPP and the criminal justice system.
“Despite several storms that have emerged during his tenure, our Jurist has remained steadfast and continued to work beyond his call of duty to protect the integrity and independence of the ODPP as prescribed in the Constitution 2010 and provide quality prosecution services to all.”
“Our Jurist has demonstrated and exemplified commitment and ability to remain relentless with zeal and zest, thus ensuring to leave a positive and equally indelible mark in the criminal justice sector,” stated the non-governmental organization with the mission of promoting human rights, justice, and democracy.
Mr. Haji was applauded for launching the Standard Operating Procedure Manual and Rapid Reference Guide on Prosecution of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) cases which contributed to the global rallying call to ending Gender-Based Violence within the 16 Days of Activism.
The award ceremony which is held annually since 1993 coincides with the commemoration of the United Nations International Human Rights Day.
