2026 - The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested Kitutu
Central Sub-County DCIO, Chief Inspector Nicholas Waringa, alongside Corporal
Lovy Ochieng Ouya of Nyanchwa Police Station, over allegations of soliciting
and receiving a bribe from a member of the public.
According to EACC, the arrests followed a complaint alleging
that the two officers demanded Ksh 100,000 to facilitate the arrest of an
individual accused of illegally taking possession of a parcel of land in
Nyanchwa Estate, Kisii County, and constructing structures on it.
Following investigations by EACC detectives, the officers
were arrested after allegedly receiving part payment amounting to Ksh 40,000
from the complainant.
The suspects were escorted to the EACC Kisii Regional Office
for processing before being released on cash bail of Ksh 50,000 each pending
completion of investigations.
The anti-graft agency said investigations into the matter are ongoing.
