Two police officers based at Kamukunji Police station in Nairobi were arraigned in court today where they faced charges of conspiracy to commit corruption.
Corporal Grace Wangari Wanja and Constable John Karuma Thomas are charged with Extorting a bribe of Ksh 5,000 from George Chege Kiarii by falsely pretending to be in a position of helping him recover his civil debt of Ksh 25,000 from a motor vehicle spare parts broker.
Appearing before the Anti-corruption Magistrate Thomas Nzioki of Milimani Law courts, the accused persons denied particulars of the offence.
Senior counsel Danstan Omari for the defence, pleaded with the court to release the accused persons on reasonable bond terms stating that they are not a flight risk.
The court released the two police officers on a bond of Ksh 100,000 with an alternative cash bail of Ksh 50,000.
The case will be mentioned on July 20,2022.
