An Eldoret Muslim leader has written to the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) over delays in investigating alleged fraud related to a Muslim Association.
Jamal Diriwo Omari has been pushing for officials of the Jamia Mosque Committee, Eldoret, to be held accountable for forging association’s registration certificate.
Omari argues that while the matter has been before the police since 2024, little or no progress has been made so far.
In a letter to DPP and IPOA, the Muslim leader wants action taken against officers handling the case.
According to a letter to the two state agencies seen by Uasin Gishu News, the case has been before Eldoret West DCI office.
“We request your immediate intervention and action for DCI inaction and delays in their investigation and prosecution of our case before their office,” Omari says in part of the letter.
“Since 2024, there has been no action before the courts of the law on the same matter and we are totally not satisfied with delays in justice which often leads to denial of justice,” he added.
Has registration for Eldoret Muslim Association been forged?
The Eldoret Muslim leader had reported to DCI offices that a group of leaders had forged a registration certificate for the Muslim Association Mosque Committee, Eldoret.
He argues that the new entity’s registration certificate does not contain the name Eldoret, pointing to a possible fraud attempt.
DCI has in 2025 recorded statements from the accused persons but the case has delayed die to reported delays by the Office of the Registrar of Societies’ to provide details related to the registration of the said organisation.
Despite several letters from Omari demanding the said information, none has been provided, leading to frustrations from the Eldoret Muslim leader.
He now hopes DPP and IPOA will come to his rescue and put the matter to rest.
The association in question owns properties running into billions of shillings which the Muslim leaders fear might illegally end up in individuals hands.
