The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested a Deputy OCS from Kiambu County over allegations of extorting money from the public.
The suspect was arrested alongside a police constable alleged to have been his accomplice in soliciting bribes.
EACC said the two suspects allegedly demanded Sh50,000 from a complainant as a “motivation fee” for the Deputy OCS to release the complainant’s motor vehicle.
It is further alleged that the Deputy OCS had adamantly refused to release the motor vehicle despite a valid court order presented to him by the complainant.
“The two were apprehended on Monday after receiving the demanded amount from the complainant at a Kiambu Police Station,” the commission said.
The commission said the two suspects were processed at EACC Integrity Centre Police Station and later Kilimani Police Station pending further enforcement actions. BY MPASHO NEWS
