On the other hand, the commission revealed that bribes demanded by traffic police increased in amount by 89 percent between 2022 and 2023.
Regarding the causes of rampant corruption, EACC attributed the prevalence to the weak systems within the National Police Service (NPS).
The commission also exposed that there were unethical practices of deductions of allowances for police, a move that saw officers resort to bribes.
“NPS has not developed the requisite documents in line with Chapter Six. There is also non-compliance with provisions of chapter 6 and the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012,” read the report in part.
