Ex-Bunge la Wananchi National Coordinator has been convicted and fined Sh250,000 or serve a two-year jail term in default.
The Anti-Corruption Court sitting in Milimani, Nairobi, found Rodgers Mwololo guilty of two counts of soliciting for bribes of Sh150,000 and Sh100,000.
He was charged with the offence contrary to section 6(1)(a) as read with section 18 (1) of the Bribery Act No. 47 of 2016.
On the second count, Mwololo was fined Sh150,000 or in default serve 12 months imprisonment while on the third count, he was fined Sh100,000 or in default spend 12 months behind bars.
Chief Magistrate Felix Kombo, however, acquitted him on the first count where Mwololo had been accused of soliciting for a bribe of Sh250,000 from the complainant.
The charge indicated that on December 3, 2018 at Grand Quality Hotel in Nairobi, Mwololo being the National Coordinator of Bunge la Wananchi, solicited a benefit of Sh150,000 and subsequently received Sh100,000 from Lucas Munata Sameta.
This was for purposes of refraining from contacting media houses on sexual harassment complaints he had purportedly received regarding staff members working at the complainant's clinic in Umoja Estate.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) conducted investigations into the matter after the complainant filed a report.
Mwololo was consequently arrested while receiving Sh100,000 as part of the demanded bribe.
Commenting on the case, acting EACC Deputy Director - Corporate Affairs and Communication- Eric Ngumbi urged Kenyans to continue reporting any suspicious acts of bribery.
"EACC also deals with private sector corruption. It is not always about public officials and public money," he said.
"Kenyans can report cases of bribery arising from private dealings to EACC for action under the Bribery Act, 2016," Ngumbi said.
