Two court staff arrested for receiving KSh5,000 bribe; released on KSh20,000 bail

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have arrested Jared Nyauncho, a Senior Court Assistant and David Tunya, a Customer Care Officer, for soliciting and receiving a bribe of KSh5,000 from a complainant as an inducement to facilitate retrieval of a court file.

EACC says that on 24th March 2025, it received a letter from a complainant alleging that a Senior Court Assistant based at Mbita Law Courts was demanding for bribe in order to retrieve a succession case file from the court registry.

The complainant, EACC claims, had on numerous occasions sought to trace the file at the Law Courts in vain.

The commission conducted an operation that resulted in the arrest of David Tunya, a customer care officer, who accepted a bribe of KSh5,000 on behalf of Jared Nyauncho, who was also taken into custody.

The two suspects were escorted to Mbita Police Station for processing and later released on a KSh20,000 cash bail pending the finalization of the investigation.

“EACC is committed to upscaling timely detection and prevention of bribery at service delivery points to restore public confidence,” the anti-graft agency says.
