The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested the Nyamache District Accountant Annrose Gakenia and her deputy Josphat Ongori Motari over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe.

The arrests followed a complaint received by the Commission's South Nyanza Regional Office from the Children's Officer for Etago Sub-County, Kisii County.

The graft agency in a statement said the complainant alleged that the suspects solicited a bribe in exchange for signing a cheque for Sh46,000 belonging to the Etago Sub-County Children's Office.

Following an operation mounted by the commission, the accountant was arrested while allegedly receiving Sh8,000 from the complainant.
