The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) apprehended two police officers stationed at Capitol Hill Police Station for soliciting a bribe from a motorist.
The officers, PC Moses Kingori and PC Brian Masega, allegedly demanded a bribe to release the motorist’s motorcycle, which they had impounded on the grounds of an invalid driving license despite the complainant presenting a provisional license.
The motorist, refusing to pay the bribe, reported the incident to the EACC.
The EACC promptly launched an investigation and apprehended the officers on the same day.
The arrested officers are currently detained at Kilimani Police Station awaiting further processing at the EACC Integrity Centre Police Station.
This incident highlights the EACC’s commitment to combating corruption within law enforcement agencies.
It serves as a reminder that motorists should be aware of their rights and report any instances of bribery to the relevant authorities.
