Two arrested for impersonating EACC officers, extortion

Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have arrested two individuals for impersonating Commission officers and extorting money from members of the public.

The suspects, Annastacia Mueni Kavemba and Stephen Muleu Ngati, were apprehended on Monday following a complaint lodged on March 29, 2026.

According to the EACC report, Ms. Mueni allegedly contacted the complainant while posing as an EACC officer, claiming that the individual was under investigation.

She is said to have demanded money to influence the outcome of the alleged case and to halt further action.

Acting on the complaint, EACC detectives mounted an operation that led to the arrest of the two suspects immediately after they received a bribe of Ksh.20,000.

The suspects were held at the EACC headquarters at Integrity Centre, where they recorded a statement recording awaiting arraignment.
