Our Mission

Criminals in illicit trade are looting billions and endangering us all. Stop Crime Kenya is campaigning against this scourge and is seeking justice and security for all honest citizens.


$$$

Shadow Economy

Every shilling funnelled into the shadow economy deprives hard-working Kenyans of funds required for their schools, housing, medical care and basic safety.

$$$

Organised crime

Organised syndicates in illicit trade use their profits to expand their networks and fund other corrupt enterprises, including drug-dealing, prostitution and racketeering.

$$$

Terror funding

Illicit trafficking is an essential revenue stream for the nexus of terror groups operating throughout the East and Central African regions.

Stop Crime Kenya (StoCK) is campaigning against the criminals who make a fortune smuggling and selling illicit goods. They include extremist groups who use the revenue to finance terrorist atrocities.

StoCK will work to raise awareness of how organised syndicates are looting the nation, and seek to ensure they’re prosecuted and locked up behind bars once and for all.
