Several Police Officers Arrested in Undercover Operation

Several Police Officers Arrested in Undercover Anti-Corruption Operation

Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Thursday, August 28, arrested four traffic police officers in connection with bribery allegations.

According to the Commission, the officers were accused of demanding and collecting bribes from motorists, matatu operators, and long-distance truck drivers who use the busy Nairobi–Nyeri–Embu Highway.

The arrests came after EACC detectives carried out a well-coordinated undercover operation along the highway. The sting was launched following complaints and tip-offs from members of the public who had grown tired of constant harassment and extortion by the traffic officers.

Anti-graft investigators revealed that several motorists had directly reached out to the Commission, expressing frustrations over the routine bribe demands.

They noted that the officers’ actions had become a daily burden for road users, especially commercial vehicle operators. The reports prompted the EACC to take immediate action to restore order and integrity on the road.

Out of the four arrested officers, three were attached to the Makutano Traffic Base, while the fourth officer served under the Juja Traffic Base in Embu County.

After being apprehended, the suspects were transported to the EACC Integrity Centre in Nairobi where they were booked, processed, and recorded official statements.

“Investigations are ongoing, and the suspects will soon face corruption-related charges in court once the legal process is finalized,” the Commission stated.

The arrests are part of a broader government initiative aimed at fighting deep-rooted corruption within the police service and other public offices. Authorities have emphasized that such operations will continue in order to protect Kenyans from the exploitation that has plagued many state institutions.

A recent report released by the EACC ranked the police service as the most corrupt public institution in Kenya. The survey revealed that nearly half of Kenyans—47 per cent—believed police officers were the leading perpetrators of bribery and unethical behaviour. County officials followed closely behind in the ranking.

The findings also showed that Kenyans continue to struggle with high levels of bribery and misconduct in public institutions. Many citizens reported feeling trapped in an endless cycle of extortion, with little hope for accountability.

EACC Chairperson David Oginde noted that a significant number of corruption victims fail to report such incidents due to fear of intimidation or because they lack confidence in the very institutions tasked with fighting graft.

The report further highlighted that bribes are most commonly paid to fast-track government services, secure job opportunities, and influence outcomes in administrative or legal processes.

It concluded that unless decisive action is taken, Kenyans will continue to face unnecessary hardships at the hands of corrupt officials.
