Fake EACC investigator arrested in Ksh2 million bribery scam
Fake EACC investigator arrested in Ksh2 million bribery scam
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a man accused of posing as an investigator with the agency and soliciting a bribe from a member of the public.
In a statement on Tuesday, June 23, the commission said the suspect targeted a director of a company contracted by the Narok County Government, falsely claiming that the firm was under investigation for corruption.
“The suspect, Felix Manyaga Mogaka, contacted a director of a company contracted by the Narok County Government, claiming the firm was under investigation for corruption,” the statement read.
EACC said Mogaka later arranged a meeting with the company director at a hotel, where he allegedly demanded Ksh2 million in exchange for stopping further action against the company.
Following a complaint lodged with EACC, the commission launched an operation that culminated in Mogaka’s arrest on June 22, 2026.

He was apprehended while allegedly receiving Ksh200,000, which was part of the demanded bribe.
“Investigations confirmed that Mogaka is not an employee of the Commission. The suspect is being processed at the Integrity Centre pending the conclusion of investigations,” the statement added.
Following the arrest, EACC cautioned members of the public against falling victim to fraudsters who misuse its name to extort money.
“EACC wishes to remind the public that official summonses are issued in writing and require an appearance at EACC Offices. The Commission does not conduct meetings in hotels or solicit payments to influence investigations,” the statement further read.
