The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested an auditor attached to the North Rift Valley Development Water Agency over allegations of soliciting a Sh400,000 bribe from a contractor in exchange for a favourable audit report.
In a statement, the commission said the arrest followed a complaint alleging that the auditor had demanded money from a contractor to influence the outcome of an audit exercise.
According to EACC, investigators mounted an operation in Eldoret after receiving the report.
The commission said the suspect was arrested after allegedly receiving Sh400,000 from the complainant.
EACC said the suspect was processed at its North Rift Regional Office and later released on a cash bail of Sh100,000 pending the conclusion of investigations and further action.
The commission said investigations into the matter are ongoing.
EACC reiterated its commitment to strengthening accountability and integrity in the management of public affairs.
