Supreme Court Judge Justice Isaac Lenaola has criticized political influence and weak cases by state agencies for hindering justice in Kenya. He urged the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to enhance its collaboration with government bodies to bolster prosecutions, emphasizing that inadequate prosecution continues to deny justice to victims.

• Justice Lenaola stated that the success of prosecutions relies heavily on state cooperation, which is often inconsistent or influenced by political considerations.
• He highlighted that immunity enjoyed by powerful figures and political influence are major barriers to accountability, particularly in regard to cases like the 2007 post-election violence.
• Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga also pressured the ODPP to improve its prosecutorial edge, noting that it has failed to meet Kenyans' expectations.
