Friday, August 29, 2025 - The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested four traffic police officers accused of extorting bribes from motorists, matatu operators, and truck drivers along the Nairobi-Nyeri-Embu Highway.
The arrests followed an undercover operation mounted after
numerous public complaints about rampant corruption on the busy route.
Those apprehended are: Georgina Syokau (Service No. 85527), Robert Mwenda (Service
No. 84890), Gladys Cherono
(Service No. 105724) - all attached to Makutano Traffic Base and Pauline Anyango (Service
No. 96947) from Juja Traffic Base.
The officers were escorted to the EACC Integrity Centre in
Nairobi for processing and to record statements.
They are expected to face corruption-related charges once investigations are concluded.
