The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested a Deputy OCS from Kiambu County over allegations of extorting money from the public.
The suspect was arrested alongside a police constable alleged to have been his accomplice in soliciting bribes.
EACC said the two suspects allegedly demanded Sh50,000 from a complainant as a “motivation fee” for the Deputy OCS to release the complainant’s motor vehicle.
It is further alleged that the Deputy OCS had adamantly refused to release the motor vehicle despite a valid court order presented to him by the complainant.
"The two were apprehended on Monday after receiving the demanded amount from the complainant at a Kiambu Police Station," the commission said.
The commission said the two suspects were processed at EACC Integrity Centre Police Station and later Kilimani Police Station pending further enforcement actions.
