The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested two individuals accused of impersonating Commission officers and extorting money from members of the public.
The suspects, Annastacia Mueni Kavemba and Stephen Muleu Ngati, were apprehended following a complaint lodged on March 29, 2026. According to the report, Ms. Mueni allegedly contacted the complainant while posing as an EACC officer and claimed that the individual was under investigation.
She is said to have demanded money in exchange for influencing the outcome of the alleged case and preventing further action against the complainant.
Acting on the report, EACC officers launched an operation that resulted in the arrest of the two suspects immediately after they received a bribe of KSh20,000.
The suspects are currently being held at the EACC Headquarters at Integrity Centre, where they are undergoing statement recording and further processing.
The Commission has urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report any incidents of bribery and extortion to the relevant authorities.
