“Knowing her journey this season, I had to do more research to emotionally prepare to be in Makena’s headspace and be able to capture the authenticity of her new journey.
“More stunts are required of her character this season too and I did a lot of physical training before filming began to prepare for that,” Hassan said.
Speaking on his role in Crime and Justice 2, Charles Ouda said it’s a great honour to work with both Sarah Hassan and Alfred Munyua.
“It’s an awesome feeling to kick off things with a show like Crime and Justice, and to work with Sarah Hassan and Alfred Munyua again, as well as Mumbi Maina. I can think of no better way to return home,” Ouda says.

Ouda, plays Kenneth Mumbi, the Chief Administrative Secretary for the National Treasury and a member of the aforementioned powerful organisation.
“They’re hiding in the shadows. They’re everywhere: the prison, your neighbour’s house, the shopkeeper across the road, your children’s school, even here (Nairobi Metropol Police),” Ouda’s character Kenneth reveals.
Going by episode 1 alone, the stakes are much higher than ever, and justice even more flawed.
