The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested the Nyamache District Accountant, Ms. Annrose Gakenia, and her deputy, Mr. Josphat Ongori Motari, over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe.
The arrests followed a complaint received by the Commission’s South Nyanza Regional Office from the Children’s Officer for Etago Sub-County, Kisii County.
The complainant alleged that the District Accountant solicited a bribe in exchange for signing a cheque for Kes46,000 belonging to the Etago Sub-County Children’s Office.
Following an operation mounted by the Commission, Ms. Gakenia was arrested while allegedly receiving Kes8,000 from the complainant. Mr. Motari was also arrested in connection with the alleged bribery scheme.
The two suspects were processed and later released on a cash bail of Kes20,000 each pending the completion of investigations.
