A police inspector has been sentenced to two consecutive
one-year jail terms or pay a cumulative fine of Ksh.650,000 after being found
guilty of corruption charges.
Inspector Susan Wambui Muiruri, the Officer-in-Charge of the
Zimmerman Police Post, was fined Ksh.300,000 for each of two counts of
corruption, with an additional mandatory fine of Ksh.50,000. In default, she
will serve a year in prison for each charge.
The Milimani Anti-Corruption Court found that the officer had illegally
detained suspects and solicited a bribe of Ksh.10,000 to facilitate
negotiations between a complainant and a suspect in custody.
Further investigations revealed that she had unlawfully
extorted Ksh.150,000 from the complainant.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has
reiterated its call for public officials to uphold integrity, emphasizing that
corruption undermines the rule of law, inflates the cost of living, cripples
infrastructure development, and denies citizens access to justice.
