The Judiciary has relieved Martin Mutegi, Senior Principal Magistrate at Kangema Law Courts, of judicial duties following his arrest over bribery allegations.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 22, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Mutegi would step aside pending disciplinary and criminal proceedings.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had earlier announced the arrest of Mutegi alongside Julius Irungu Njogu, Principal Probation Officer, over allegations of soliciting and receiving a bribe linked to a case before the court.
