DCI seeks Albert Komen Kipkechem after he allegedly failed to appear in court following his release on a combined KSh2 million cash bail.
Kipkechem was released on a combined KSh2 million cash bail but failed to appear for subsequent court proceedings, prompting the issuance of arrest warrants.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched a search for Albert Komen Kipkechem, who is wanted in connection with alleged cybercrime offences before the Milimani Law Courts.
Kipkechem is being sought after warrants of arrest were issued against him following his failure to attend subsequent court proceedings.
According to the DCI, Kipkechem was charged at the Milimani Law Courts on March 3 and March 12, 2026, over offences relating to computer and cybercrime activities.
He faces charges of Access with Intent to Commit a Further Offence, contrary to Section 15(1), and Computer Fraud, contrary to Section 26(1)(b) as read with Section 2(a) of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act No. 5 of 2018.
The accused was subsequently released on cash bail in the two matters. The bail amounts were KSh1.5 million and KSh500,000, respectively.
However, according to the DCI, Kipkechem later failed to appear before the court for scheduled proceedings. His failure to attend led to the issuance of warrants of arrest.
DCI appeals for information
The DCI is now appealing to members of the public who may know Kipkechem’s whereabouts to provide information that could assist investigators in locating him.
Members of the public with relevant information are encouraged to share it with the authorities.
The case comes as Kenyan authorities continue to pursue suspects facing charges under the country’s cybercrime laws, which provide for offences involving unauthorised access to computer systems and fraudulent use of computer technology.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Albert Komen Kipkechem is urged to report it to the DCI or the nearest police station.
The allegations outlined above are charges against the accused and should not be treated as a finding of guilt unless and until determined by a court of law.
