The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested and arraigned a clerical officer attached to the Uasin Gishu Lands Office over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe to facilitate the subdivision of land.
The accused, Noah Kipkemboi Rotich, was presented before court on Monday, June 8, 2026, and charged with receiving a bribe contrary to the Bribery Act, 2016.
According to EACC, the case arose from a complaint it received alleging that Rotich had demanded a bribe to facilitate the subdivision process.
“Investigations established that he had solicited Ksh 100,000 from the complainant and received part of the bribe,” EACC said in a statement.
Following completion of investigations, EACC forwarded the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved the prosecution.
The accused was granted a cash bail of Ksh 30,000 or, alternatively, a bond of Ksh 100,000 after he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
With the case now before the court of law, EACC said it remains committed to combating corruption and promoting integrity in public service.
