An Anti-Corruption Court in Nairobi on Thursday, March 13, sentenced an Inspector of Police to two years in prison or a fine of Ksh550,000.
This followed her conviction for soliciting and receiving a bribe of Ksh10,000 to unlawfully facilitate the release of two suspects from police custody.
In her ruling, Principal Magistrate Isabellah Barasa found the officer guilty on two counts of receiving a bribe, contrary to Sections 6 and 18 of the Bribery Act.
The prosecution informed the court that on April 25, 2021, at Kasarani Police Station in Nairobi, the Inspector, while attending her shift, requested a bribe of Ksh10,000.
