Nairobi — A Kenya Revenue Authority employee was on Wednesday charged with three counts of receiving and soliciting a bribe from a trader.
Principal Revenue Officer Raypton Steve Erima was arrested by anti-corruption police officers in Nyeri last week.
He denied receiving a Sh50,000 bribe from shopkeeper Peter Nderitu Njuki on September 1 outside the Nyeri branch of the Kenya Commercial Bank.
He also denied two counts of separately soliciting Sh200,000 from the trader on June 11 and on August 26 with a view of clearing the trader from the offence of failure to declare sales from his business for taxation purposes.
Mr Erima is also facing charges of obstructing Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission detectives Francis Wambua, police constables Francis Kamwara and Ibrahim Abdi, from investigating alleged corruption offences against Mr Peter Njuki.
Mr Erima appeared before regional anti-corruption magistrate Stella Muketi who released him on a Sh50,000 cash bond. The magistrate set October 7 as the date for the hearing of the case.
