The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Kibera-based police officer for soliciting a bribe before taking action in a defilement case.
Reportedly, the culprit, a police constable stationed at the Sarangombe Police Post, had sought a bribe of Ksh4,000 from a defilement victim's mother so that he could arrest the suspect.
The case had been filed earlier at the same station, after which the police constable demanded the bribe as an inducement for the arrest. "The Commission reiterates its commitment to tackling bribery at service delivery points to restore public confidence and enhance service delivery to all Kenyans," the statement read in part.
