The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) arrested two sub-county police commanders who allegedly demanded a bribe of Ksh 500,000.
According to EACC Central Regional Head Charles Rasugu, the crime was committed in 2018 when the two officers were serving in South Kinangop, Nyandarua County.

“They demanded the bribe as an inducement to effect an eviction order validly issued by a court against illegal occupants of a private property,” Rasugu said.
