The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) official for allegedly soliciting and receiving a bribe to facilitate the irregular clearance of tax arrears and issuance of a Tax Compliance Certificate.
The suspect, Hughes Obilo, an officer attached to the Debt Refunds Department in Kisumu, allegedly demanded Sh 100,000 from a construction company to clear outstanding tax arrears of Sh 4.5 million in the iTax system.
After preliminary investigations, the Commission mounted an operation that led to the suspect’s arrest while receiving a bribe of Sh 30,000.
The suspect was arrested in Kisumu on 14th September 2026 and booked at Kisumu Central Police Station for processing and statement recording.
EACC remains committed to combating bribery and corruption at public service delivery points and will continue to take firm action against individuals who abuse public office for private gain.
