“Following numerous complaints from motorists, bodaboda riders and the general public regarding traffic police officers extorting money from motorists at Globe Cinema roundabout in the guise of traffic law enforcement, the Commission conducted investigations on several days and confirmed the allegations,” a source at EACC noted.
EACC said the three suspects are currently being detained at Kilimani Police Station awaiting arraignment.
The arrest comes days after the anti-corruption agency launched an audit into the National Police Service (NPS) operations to identify and seal weaknesses conducive to corruption in the security forces.
