A directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer was arrested by detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and later charged in court for soliciting a bribe to terminate a criminal case.

The officer, Sgt. Thomas Nahashon Kibet is based at Changamwe Police Station in Mombasa County.

He was arrested by sleuths from EACC on Thursday and held at Port Police Station before being charged with three counts of receiving a bribe, requesting an advantage and concealing evidence contrary to the law.

“The suspect was arrested after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) concurred with the Commission’s recommendation to charge him,” the court heard.

According to court documents, the suspect allegedly requested a Ksh.20,000 bribe from a complainant in exchange for terminating their criminal case in June 2018.

“On the 6th day of June 2018, at Changamwe Police Station, within Mombasa County in the Republic of Kenya, being a person employed by a public body to wit, National Police Service as a Corporal, DCI officer, you requested a financial advantage of Ksh.20,000 and received an initial amount of Ksh.10,000 from the complainant with the intent that in consequence therefor, you would compromise an investigation leading to the termination of the complaint’s criminal case,” read the documents.

Kibet is also said to have concealed evidence of receiving Ksh.7,000 from the complainant which was supposed to be used as evidence in the case.

He denied the charges before Mombasa Chief Magistrate Alex Ithuku and was released on a Ksh.100,000 cash bail or an alternative bond of Ksh.300,000.

The matter will be mentioned in court on February 10, 2025.
