The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a suspect who allegedly posed as their investigator and solicited a bribe from a member of the public.
The suspect, Felix Manyaga Mogaka, is said to have contacted a director of a company contracted by the Narok County Government, claiming the firm was under investigation for corruption.
“He later arranged a meeting at a hotel, where he demanded Ksh 2 million to allegedly stop further action,” EACC said in a statement on Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
Following a complaint, EACC said it mounted an operation that led to Mogaka’s arrest on Monday, June 22, 2026 while receiving Ksh 200,000, part of the alleged bribe.
Investigations confirmed that the suspect is not an employee of the Commission.
“The suspect is being processed at the Integrity Centre pending the conclusion of investigations,” EACC said.
It also reminded the public that official summonses are issued in writing and require an appearance at EACC offices.
“The Commission does not conduct meetings in hotels or solicit payments to influence investigations,” it said, adding that “Members of the public are urged to report any individuals misusing the EACC name for fraud or extortion.”
