Abdi Hussein Ahmed and Badru Abdul Aziz Saleh are the two Kenyans suspected of trafficking drugs and wildlife.
The United States made the offer on Thursday as the two are wanted for wildlife and drug trafficking.
Aziz and Ahmed are suspected of being part of a global organized criminal network that smuggled wildlife and attempted to smuggle illegal substances into the United States.
They are suspected of smuggling at least 190 kg of rhino horns and 10 tonnes of ivory.
Eric Kneedler of the US embassy in Nairobi announced in a press briefing at the DCI headquarters on Thursday afternoon.
"Eradicating drug and wildlife trafficking are priorities of the Biden administration. We are grateful for the continued partnership of the Government of Kenya to capture and arrest members of these criminal networks," Eric Kneedler said.
DCI Director George Kinoti has appealed to all actors in the legal system to help in the apprehension and conviction of the two suspects.
“America has played a great role in facilitating the tracking of criminal networks,” Kinoti said.
"What we have here today is an example of our integrated approach that is -oriented to deal effectively with these criminal networks," he added.
