As part of the ongoing crackdown on bribery at service delivery points, the EACC arrested Mutava Lawrence and Timothy Momanyi, employees of Kenya Revenue Authority deployed as Customs Officers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, for allegedly demanding KES120,000 bribe as condition for release of goods they had confiscated from a traveler.

The traveler refused to pay the bribe and instead reported the matter to EACC.

The Commission conducted an operation and arrested the suspects on Friday evening while receiving the bribe.

After the arrest, a search was conducted on the suspects’ cars where KES297,000 suspected to be proceeds of corruption and a firearm were recovered.

The suspects are held at Industrial Area Police Station awaiting further processing.
