Wednesday, December 10, 25 - Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chairperson, Dr. Bishop David Oginde, has revealed a recent encounter with a National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officer who allegedly attempted to solicit a bribe.
Speaking on Tuesday, December 9th, Oginde said he
was processing an online vehicle ownership transfer when a colleague contacted
an NTSA officer for assistance.
The officer reportedly demanded Ksh 10, 000
to facilitate the process.
“Two weeks ago, I was processing an online vehicle ownership
transfer.”
“When a colleague called an NTSA officer for assistance, he asked
for a bribe of Ksh10,000.”
“We refused, and the process was rejected. I was tempted to ask
him, ‘Do you know who you’re speaking to?’” Oginde recalled.
A recent report
by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) exposed the staggering
amounts Kenyans are forced to pay in bribes to access services in public
institutions.
Among Government
agencies, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) recorded the
highest average bribe at Ksh.81,801, followed by the Judiciary (Ksh.49,611),
Kenya Bureau of Standards (Ksh.40,000), and County Government Offices
(Ksh.26,223).
