The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested two officers attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kipkelion Sub-County Offices over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe.
The suspects, Corporal Wesley Korir and Corporal Christopher Maina, allegedly demanded KSh500,000 from a complainant in exchange for terminating a murder case against him.
Following preliminary investigations, EACC mounted an operation that led to the arrest of the two officers while receiving KSh120,000 as a downpayment.
The suspects were subsequently processed at the South Rift Regional Office and later released on a cash bail of KSh30,000 each pending the completion of investigations.
EACC has reiterated its commitment to combating corruption in all sectors and urged members of the public to continue reporting bribery and other corrupt conduct through the Commission’s official reporting channels.
The commission said it will continue working with members of the public to expose and prevent corruption within government institutions.
