A compliance officer from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has been charged with receiving a bribe to alter tax documents.
According to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the official received Ksh250,000 from a woman who had already paid him Ksh500,000 to fix the documents.
The officer allegedly demanded Ksh1 million to help resolve the irregularities.
The woman, however, agreed to pay Ksh500,000 as a down payment, with the balance to be paid upon completion of the process.
The charges against the suspect were approved by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP).
The official denied the charges and was released on a bond of Ksh. 500,000.
