Police Officer Caught Doing The Unthinkable to Pregnant Woman

A police officer-in-Charge of a Police Post in Kasarani Division has been charged with bribery allegations, when caught asking bribes from a pregnant woman.

The officer of the rank of inspector was arrested by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), but failed to show up in court for plea-taking.

The accused, who was arraigned before Milimani Anti-Corruption Magistrate Eunice Nyutu pleaded not guilty to charges of receiving a bribe contrary to section 6(1) as read with Section 18(1) of the Bribery Act No.47 of 2016.

She was released on a cash bail of Sh300,000 or a Bond of Sh 500,000 with a surety of the same amount.

Police corruption is most serious when the climate in a police department permits the existence of corruption of all kinds.

The most common type of police corruption is the acceptance of bribes from those who deal in the vices of gambling, prostitution, illegal drinking, and the illegal use of drugs.

Police corruption undermines the confidence of the public in the police, destroys respect for the law, undercuts departmental discipline, and harms police morale.

The degrees of police corruption in Kenya can be distinguished by the size of payoffs and the effort exerted by police to obtain them.
