EACC arrests 4 senior Treasury employees for collecting over Ksh.10M bribe
Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have arrested three senior employees and an intern of the National Treasury following numerous bribery allegations.
The suspects attached to the Pensions Department are said to have collected more than Ksh.10.5 million in bribes within the last two years.
The quartet include Wilkens Muhando Mugatsia, an intern, two Senior Pensions officers, Henry Odhaimbo Otira and Catherine Muthoni Murage and the Chief Clerical officer, Byrson Mark.
According to EACC, the four had been extorting members of the public seeking services at the Pensions Department.

“It is alleged that the officials demand payment of bribes through a paybill account operated by one Wilkens Muhando Mugatsia, an intern at the Pensions Department in return for expedited services,” EACC stated.
Preliminary investigations by the Commission established that the said paybill account was registered in the name of Muhando’s mother, and had transacted Ksh.10,523,044 with the above suspects receiving various amounts.
The suspects have since been processed at Integrity Centre Police Station and will later be detained at Kilimani Police Station pending investigations.
