3 traffic cops arrested, 1 escapes after being busted collecting bribes in Naivasha

Three traffic police officers were arrested on Thursday morning at what anti-corruption detectives described as a notorious bribe-collection point along Mai Mahiu Road near Karagita junction in Naivasha, Nakuru County.

According to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), another officer resisted arrest and ran away while firing gunshots to stop the detectives who were pursuing him.

No injuries were recorded from the gunshots, the anti-graft agency said.

The detectives recovered the spent cartridge while the arrested officers were driven from Naivasha to the EACC Integrity Centre Police Station in Nairobi for processing.
