The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Principal Prosecution Counsel in charge of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) as the crackdown on rogue senior public officers continues.
The Kilgoris-based officer was apprehended on allegations of soliciting a bribe, as the EACC revealed that the senior officer had demanded a KSh 50,000 bribe from a businessman in exchange for dismissing a court case.
After negotiations, the amount was reduced to KSh 40,000, but instead of complying with the request, the complainant reported the matter to the anti-corruption agency.
The EACC launched an operation after the complaint was filed, eventually leading to the officer's arrest on Sunday, February 16.
