This is after they were implicated in a Ksh50,000 bribery case.

It is alleged they asked for bribe from Peter Muhia Njega for the release of his cattle in 2019.

Former area chief of Lukenya, Tirus Ndambuki Musyoka, was also sentenced to pay a fine of Ksh200,000 or serve four years in prison for receiving a bribe of Ksh50,000 in the ruling delivered at the Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court.

The retired administrator was convicted on three counts of bribery and abuse of office while in office.

His accomplices, Wilson and Nthiwa were sentenced after being convicted on two counts of bribery.

Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court Principal Magistrate Isabellah Barasa found the three guilty of accepting a bribe from Peter Muhia Njega in exchange for the release of his cattle held at KBC Police Station in 2019.

According to the magistrate, the detention of cattle and receiving of bribe by the officers was unlawful.

The court determined that the complainant was coerced to pay a bribe to have his cattle released yet they were illegally detained by the accused.

The case compounds a growing number of incidents of widespread corruption menace in government offices.

The corruption include extortion by public servants who ask for kickback to do their duty, which many lament has become rampant.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, during his tenure, lamented that Kenya loses more than Ksh2 billion everyday due to corruption.

Public procurement, administration, police and the judiciary are some of the most affected areas.
