As the superintendent of all prosecutorial authority in Kenya, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution ODPP wields constitutional power over the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation DCI and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission EACC.

The DPP, as the bearer of the prosecution burden, can, lawfully, order these institutions to investigate any crime and supervise them to ensure professionalism.
