The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a suspect accused of impersonating an EACC investigator and soliciting a bribe from a member of the public.
The suspect, identified as Felix Manyaga Mogaka, allegedly contacted a director of a company contracted by the Narok County Government, falsely claiming that the firm was under investigation for corruption.
According to the Commission, Mogaka informed the company director that he could influence the outcome of the purported investigation and later arranged a meeting at a hotel, where he allegedly demanded Sh2 million to halt further action against the company.
“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. He later arranged a meeting at a hotel, where he demanded KES 2 million to allegedly stop further action.,” EACC said in a statement.
The matter was reported to the EACC, prompting the Commission to launch an operation targeting the suspect.
On June 22, 2026, EACC officers arrested Mogaka while he was allegedly receiving Sh200,000, said to be part of the demanded bribe.
Preliminary investigations established that Mogaka is not an employee of the Commission and had no authority to conduct investigations or represent the agency in any capacity.
The suspect is currently being processed at the Integrity Centre pending the completion of investigations and possible legal action.
Following the arrest, the EACC cautioned members of the public against falling victim to fraudsters posing as Commission officials.
The anti-graft agency emphasized that all official summons are issued in writing and require individuals to appear at EACC offices. It further noted that its officers do not conduct official meetings in hotels or solicit payments in exchange for influencing investigations.
“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 Commission cautioned.
The Commission urged anyone approached by individuals claiming to be EACC officers and demanding money to report the matter immediately to the relevant authorities.
