The suspect, Leonard Cheruiyot Mutai, a Leak Detection Officer, was apprehended on March 23, 2026, following a complaint by a member of the public who claimed the officer demanded Sh15,000 to facilitate the replacement of a confiscated water meter in Langa Langa Estate.
Acting on the complaint, EACC conducted an operation that led to the arrest of the suspect while receiving the bribe.
During the arrest, EACC investigators recovered Sh15,000 on hand, Sh100,000 hidden in socks, and Sh18,000 from his coat pocket.
The suspect was taken to the Commission’s South Rift Regional Office, Nakuru, for processing and later detained at Central Police Station.
He will be released on a police cash bail of Sh20,000 pending conclusion of the investigation
The EACC continues to urge members of the public to report corruption and to stand firm against bribery.
This is the latest such an operation in efforts to address corruption in the country.
