The Ethics and Anticorruption Commission has arrested nine traffic police officers caught extorting money from motorists in Nakuru, Kajiado and Kisii.
The commission's spokesperson Eric Ngumbi confirmed that the nine officers were compromising road safety during the festive season.
He said an officer in Embu escaped. "The officers who were seen collecting bribes, were in the guise of traffic law enforcement," Ngumbi said.
Ngumbi said the officers were arrested at different notorious bribe collection spots in Nakuru, Kajiado and Kisii between December 25 and 31, 2024.
