The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Tuesday evening arrested former Likoni District Criminal Investigation Officer (DCIO) Charles Onyango KA’galo over alleged corruption.
Confirming the Arrest was EACC Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi who stated that KA’galo was arrested on Tuesday at his rural home in Oyugis, Homa Bay County.
He is scheduled to appear before the Mombasa Anti-Corruption Court on Wednesday morning to face charges of corruption during his tenure.
The arrest came less than a week after EACC Chairperson David Oginde revealed on January 28 that the National Police Service (NPS) and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) were among the most corrupt institutions in Kenya, according to the latest report.
”We have observed an emerging pattern and trend where public officials are enrolling the members of their families. Their children, wives, husbands, and their relatives to be their proxies in stealing from the public,” Oginde shared.
”We will be deploying our people in these institutions to be able to access the services these people give to the public to find out what happens when a person approaches for example to pay for a licence,” EACC CEO Abdi Mohamud revealed.
