Three men have been apprehended by authorities in Mombasa on charges of attempting to bribe a police officer. The officer reported the incident to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) after the suspects offered her a bribe of Ksh1.7 million. The bribe was intended to influence the ongoing investigations into fraudulent activities at the Mombasa port. However, the police officer refused the bribe and promptly reported the matter to the EACC.
The three individuals involved in the bribery attempt have been identified as Philip Muigai Nduati, Boniface Aggrey Ouma, and Isaac Wanaloba Kenyari. They were taken to the EACC Mombasa Offices for processing and subsequently booked at the Mombasa Central Police Station. The suspects are scheduled to appear before the Anti-Corruption Court on Wednesday at 9:00am to face charges related to their bribery attempt.
The EACC commended the police officer for her ethical conduct in rejecting the bribe and reporting the incident. The commission emphasized that all public officials should follow this example when faced with similar ethical dilemmas.
