The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested the Nyamache District Accountant and the accountant's deputy over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe.
According to the Commission, the arrests followed a complaint received by its South Nyanza Regional Office from the Children's Officer for Etago Sub-County in Kisii County.
The complainant alleged that the district accountant solicited a bribe in exchange for signing a cheque for Sh46,000 belonging to the Etago Sub-County Children's Office.
According to EACC, the district accountant was arrested during an operation while allegedly receiving Sh8,000 from the complainant.
The deputy was also arrested in connection with the alleged bribery scheme.
The two suspects were processed and later released on a cash bail of Sh20,000 each pending the completion of investigations.
EACC said it remains committed to combating bribery and other forms of corruption and urged members of the public to report suspected corrupt practices through its reporting channels.
