Douglas Mburu Ndonye has been arrested following a sting operation conducted on Thursday, February 1.
Mburu who was described as a notorious police officer was filmed and apprehended red-handed while demanding bribe from several vehicles along Kitale-Kapenguria Road near the Kenya Seed Company.
The officer was caught after detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) laid traps to find him in the act. Detectives mounted cameras and others posed as motorists along that busy highway before pouncing on him.
EACC officers recovered the money he had collected all day from the vehicles plying that route.
“Following investigations into numerous complaints, the Commission, through its North Rift Regional Office, Eldoret, today arrested a notorious Traffic Police Rider No. 86138 PC/R Douglas Mburu Ndonye who collects bribes along Kitale-Kapenguria Road near the Kenya Seed Company,” EACC stated.
“PC Ndonye is among three police officers notorious for bribe collection in Kitale, including one famously known in the area as Wafula. They have been observed on several days openly extorting money from motorists along that road. The others evaded the Commission’s dragnet and are being pursued.”
