The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to immediately commence investigations into the child exploitation that was exposed in the BBC Eye Documentary.
In a statement on Thursday, August 7, 2025, ODPP gave DCI seven days to investigate the matter.
“Given the seriousness of the claims presented, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), pursuant to Article 157(4) of the Constitution, has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to immediately undertake a thorough and comprehensive investigation and submit the resulting investigation file to the ODPP within seven (7) days for review and appropriate prosecutorial action,” the statement read.
The documentary highlighted alleged cases of sexual trafficking and exploitation of minors in Maai Mahiu, Nakuru County.
Since the documentary aired three days ago, the documentary has sparked public outrage, especially since it was revealed that the National Police Service (NPS) had not made any arrests despite the BBC investigative team handing over all its findings
