A compliance officer from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has been charged with accepting a Ksh500,000 bribe to manipulate tax documents. The official was apprehended in Kisumu while receiving an additional Ksh250,000 from a woman who had already paid a down payment.

• The official initially demanded Ksh1 million to resolve supposed tax irregularities for a local secondary school.
• The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) made the arrest as part of an ongoing crackdown on bribery.
• The accused denied the charges at the Kisumu Law Court on Thursday, November 13, and was released on a Ksh500,000 bond.
