The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested Kisumu-based Advocate Clifford Gwada and court clerk Zakayo Wambogo for soliciting a Ksh.500,000 bribe from a litigant.

The two allegedly claimed to be acting on behalf of Presiding Judge Lady Justice Aburili, suggesting that the money was needed to secure a favorable judgment in a case she ruled on May 17, 2024.

Lady Justice Aburili has recorded a statement with the EACC, clarifying that she had no knowledge of the bribe. She confirmed receiving information that the money was withdrawn by Peter Warindu and Company Advocates, where Advocate Gwada is employed, and subsequently handed over to Wambogo, allegedly for onward transmission to her.

“She interviewed the implicated Court Assistant and the Advocate in an open court during which they admitted having received the money and divided it amongst themselves,” read a statement in part.

They are now being held at Kisumu Railways police station pending further action.
