Breaking: Two University Students Arrested for Impersonating EACC Directors and Scamming the Public in Bungoma

A third-year student from Kibabii University was arrested on Monday, January 27, by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for impersonating a senior director and claiming to have the power to halt ongoing corruption investigations in exchange for bribes.

In an official statement, the EACC confirmed that the student was arrested alongside a fresh graduate from the same institution. The two had reportedly been involved in a series of fraudulent activities, targeting public officials and unsuspecting members of the public.

The EACC revealed that the student was pretending to be the Director of the EACC Kakamega Office—a position that does not exist since the Commission’s regional office for Western Kenya is based in Bungoma. His accomplice, a female graduate who completed her studies at Kibabii University in 2024, claimed to be a senior director based at the Commission’s Nairobi headquarters.

According to the anti-corruption watchdog, the duo was arrested during a staged “raid” where they claimed to be investigating irregularities in National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) projects.

“The suspects were caught red-handed in an NG-CDF office where they had pretended to be on official duty investigating alleged corruption in NG-CDF projects,” EACC stated.

EACC disclosed that the suspects demanded a bribe of Ksh150,000 from their victims, promising to end the so-called investigation and absolve them of any wrongdoing. However, the victims quickly notified the EACC, which organized an operation leading to the arrest of the con artists.

The two suspects are now being held at the EACC’s Western Regional offices in Bungoma, where they are assisting in investigations by recording statements.

EACC also called on individuals who may have fallen victim to the fraudulent activities of the two suspects to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigations.

“We urge anyone who may have been conned or defrauded by the arrested individuals to report to the Commission or visit any of our offices, including Integrity Centre in Nairobi or the nearest regional branch,” the statement read.

The Commission also expressed concern over the rising number of cases where fraudsters impersonate EACC officials to extort money from unsuspecting Kenyans.

“In light of the increasing incidents of people losing large sums of money to individuals pretending to be EACC officials, we advise the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling prey to such fraudulent schemes,” the EACC warned.

As investigations continue, EACC has reiterated its commitment to protecting the public from con artists and ensuring that such cases are dealt with according to the law.
