#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek FOUR TRAFFIC POLICE OFFICERS ARRESTED IN KERICHO AND NAKURU Earlier in the week, EACC arrested four (4) traffic police officers caught extorting money from motorists in the guise of traffic law enforcement. They include: 1. No. 77429 Cpl Rachael Aiyabei; 2. No. 92235 PC John Oluoch; 3. No. 73151 Cpl Cynthia Kemoi; and 4. No. 79604 PC Philip Sitienei. Cpl Aiyabei and PC Oluoch were apprehended along Sotik-Kericho road, while Cpl Kemoi and PC Sitienei were arrested along Kericho-Nakuru Road near Kaisugu Tea Factory. Prior to the arrests on Tuesday, EACC had observed the officers for several days collecting bribes without doing anything at all towards traffic law enforcement. The suspects were escorted to EACC South Rift Regional Offices in Nakuru, where they were processed and later released on bail pending the finalization of the probe. The Commission reminds members of the public that while the majority view bribery as petty corruption, its implications are gross as it compromises road safety to the extent of claiming lives. Non-compliance with the established road safety regulations on account of payment of bribes is a notable cause of the road accidents witnessed on Kenyan roads. All forms of corruption may be reported to EACC through Toll-Free Line 1551 or email address [email protected] https://t.co/DqUIzPVkIW #𝐓𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐔𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐓𝐮𝐢𝐣𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek KERICHO COUNTY LAND SURVEY BOSS ARRESTED OVER EXTORTION The Head of Land Survey in Kericho County Government, Mr. Ismail Kipngeno Koskei, has been arrested by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Koskei was apprehended by EACC detectives after demanding Kes.200,000 from a member of the public to facilitate a land transaction. The complainant's plot, registered in the name of their late mother, had been incorrectly combined with Brooke Market County Council of Kipsigis. The Land Survey office separated the plot from Brooke Market, but the suspect insisted on a Kes.200,000 bribe to release the new title. Koskei was nabbed in his office in Kericho after he received Kes.100,000 as the initial deposit for the demanded Kes.200,000 bribe. He was taken to EACC South Rift Regional Offices in Nakuru, where he recorded a statement and is currently detained at Nakuru Central Police Station. The complainant, a resident of Anaibkoi Sub-County, refused to succumb to the bribe demands and instead sought help from EACC. This incident reflects numerous similar cases across the country where land officials demand bribes before providing services. The Commission is intensifying enforcement action against corrupt land officials and encourages service seekers to always report such instances. #𝐓𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐔𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐓𝐮𝐢𝐣𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek GARISSA CHIEF ARRESTED FOR EXTORTING MONEY FROM REFUGEES The Chief for Bulla Mzuri Location in Garissa County, Abdirahman Shafe Yussuf faces charges for alleged extortion of money from refugees seeking service from his office. The suspect was caught in the act during an operation mounted by EACC Garissa Regional Office on Thursday following an inquiry into numerous complaints from victims. The Chief has reportedly become notorious for bribe demands in an ongoing de-registration of fingerprints from the UNHCR system. Before permitting the process, he allegedly requires every service seeker to pay him Kes. 3000 as “consultation fee” and a further Kes.10,000 in “facilitation fee” despite the service being free of charge. Before the EACC intervention, all service seekers were required to first pay the illegal charges to the Chief’s accomplice operating from Motor Vehicle Registration Number KCY 656W (White Probox) parked outside the Vetting hall, as a mandatory condition for one to be processed for the service. During the operation, the Commission recovered from the Chief Kes. 139,000 believed to be part of the day’s collection and a list of 85 double registered applicants indicating the amount paid by each. The suspect was processed at EACC Garissa Regional Office and freed on police bond pending finalization of the probe. The Commission condemns such despicable actions by public officers who take advantage of vulnerable service seekers to extort money from them in breach of public trust. Service seekers and other persons visiting service delivery points are encouraged to continue exposing public officials demanding bribes in order to provide the very services they are employed to deliver. The Commission may be reached through Toll Free No. 1551 or email address [email protected]. #𝐓𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐔𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐓𝐮𝐢𝐣𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek ARREST OF WOMAN DEFRAUDING THE PUBLIC WHILE IMPERSONATING EACC DETECTIVES Following investigations into complaints from the public, EACC has arrested one Ezely Omwoyo, a suspected serial fraudster who has reportedly pocketed millions of shillings by coning Government officials, contractors, suppliers and members of the public while pretending to be an EACC Lawyer and Investigator, with ability to terminate graft cases, at any stage. Preliminary investigations revealed that the conwoman dupes her victims into believing that she is handling sensitive corruption files that incriminate them and that they could be arrested anytime unless they bribe their way out of trouble. In the instant case, the conwoman was arrested on Thursday after attempting to extort money from a senior Government Official, whom she had summoned to appear before her at EACC Integrity Centre Offices. Before he arrived at EACC, Omwoyo ordered the complainant to first meet her at the Nairobi Public Service Club. At this point, the complainant notified EACC and an operation was mounted leading to the arrest of the suspect at Nairobi Public Service Club while in the process of negotiating for a bribe. She was held at EACC Integrity Centre Police Station until yesterday, Friday, when she was processed. She faces charges of impersonating an EACC investigator contrary to Section 34(1) as read with Section 34(2) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes, Act. #TuangamizeUfisadiTuijengeKenya

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek NAROK PRINCIPAL ARRESTED FOR DEMANDING KES.50K BRIBE FROM A SCHOOL SUPPLIER The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has, this afternoon, arrested one Erustus Ruiru Nganga, the Principal of Keekonyokie Mixed Day Secondary school in Narok County after he solicited a bribe of Kes.50,000 from a school supplier in order to release his Kes. 410,000 cheque in payment for goods supplied to the school. The arrest came after the supplier refused to succumb to the bribe demand and instead notified EACC which immediately mounted an operation. The Principal was apprehended after pocketing Kes. 40,000 as part of the demanded bribe and escorted to Ntulele Police Station in Narok where he is currently detained pending further processing on Thursday. Cases of this nature are common in schools where some Principals embezzle school funds placed under their care, sometimes in collusion with private persons, including corrupt suppliers who draw money from schools without supplying anything. Such individuals should always be exposed to the Commission through Toll Free No. 1551 for action in accordance with the law. #TuangamizeUfisadiTuijengeKenya

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek MOMBASA COURT DEFERS GRAFT CASE AGAINST TAITA TAVETA COUNTY ASSEMBLY CLERK The Anti-Corruption Court sitting in Mombasa has, today, granted an Application by Taita Taveta County Assembly Clerk Gadiel Maganga to defer his plea taking, which was scheduled for today, citing illness. Maganga is facing abuse of office charges relating to fraudulent payments for the Zanzibar bonding trip undertaken by county officials, including 21 MCAs in 2022. Counsel for EACC and ODPP opposed the Application to defer plea taking on grounds that the accused person was playing hide and seek game with the Commission. Chief Magistrate Alex Ithuku ordered that the Clerk takes plea on 8th April 2024. The accused had filed two other Applications; one seeking anticipatory bail in the Voi High Court, and another seeking to quash the decision of the ODPP to charge him. 40 witnesses are lined up to testify against the Clerk and his co-accused. The Clerk faces graft charges alongside Deputy Speaker Anselm Mwadime Chao who has since pleaded not guilty to charges. The Commission’s investigations established that a total of Kes. 17 million was spent on the trip out of which Kes. 9 million was directly paid to the organizers for logistics while Kes. 8 million was paid as imprest to 30 officials, including 21 MCAs.

#CaughtInCorruptionThisWeek EACC SECURES COURT ORDERS FREEZING A SENIOR MINISTRY OF LANDS OFFICIAL'S MULTI-BILLION WEALTH EACC has, today, secured orders from the High Court freezing multi-billion wealth including 106 prime land parcels and commercial buildings in different counties, 17 high end vehicles and Kes. 4,260,000 in cash belonging to Thika Land Registrar Felix Mecha Nyakundi. The orders will be in force for six months pending finalization of ongoing investigations into suspected unexplained wealth, abuse of office and embezzlement of public funds, against the Thika Lands Official, who previously served in Baringo County. In her ruling, Lady Justice Esther Maina concurred with EACC that unless the preservation orders are granted, the properties may be transferred, sold, charged or otherwise wasted thereby jeopardizing the intended forfeiture to the Government. Through its Advocate Pius Nyoike, EACC told that the High Court that Nyakundi has accumulated wealth that is not commensurate with his known legitimate sources. #TuangamizeUfisadiTuijengeKenya
