The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has approved bribery charges against a senior principal magistrate and a senior probation officer accused of soliciting money from a convicted businessman in exchange for a favourable probation report.
The decision clears the way for the prosecution of Martin Kinyua Mutegi, a Senior Principal Magistrate at Kangema Law Courts, and Julius Irungu Njogu, a Senior Probation Officer based in Kangema, after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) submitted its inquiry file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
The two were arrested on July 21, during an EACC sting operation at a restaurant in Kangema Township after investigators allegedly caught them receiving money from the complainant.
