A stash of cash that was given to four traffic police as bribes by motorists plying along Nairobi-Muranga highway. PHOTO | JEFF ANGOTESix police officers attached to the Traffic Department were on Friday charged with receiving more than Sh36,000 as bribe from motorists within Murang’a and Nairobi Counties last month. The two, who are attached to Makuyu Police Station, are suspected to have received the money from motorists as bribes not to have them charged for flouting various traffic offences. Corporal Chelangat, who is attached to Makongeni Police Station, was arrested on November 18, 2016 with Sh900 that he supposedly received as bribe. In the same case, a matatu conductor Ms Susan Muthoni denied offering a bribe of Sh1,600 to avoid being charged with a traffic offence.
