The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested two women, Hellen Hashiali Masinde and Violet Ndakwa, both from Kakamega County, for allegedly demanding Sh100,000 to halt an investigation by the Commission. The suspects claimed to possess connections within EACC that could impact the outcome of the probe. They were apprehended after receiving Sh30,000 from the individual under scrutiny.
According to EACC, the duo are believed to be part of a network of fraudsters active in Western Kenya, who either masquerade as commission officials or falsely assert their ability to influence ongoing investigations in exchange for financial gain. The two were taken to the EACC Western Regional Office for processing before being transferred to Bungoma Central Police Station, pending the completion of the investigation.
The Commission has warned the public against engaging with anyone claiming they can sway investigations for payment, urging anyone approached with such offers to report the matter to EACC.
