Former Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Manager Charles Adams Otiso, has been convicted for accepting a Ksh 7,000 bribe.
A statement by the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) on Wednesday, December 2, revealed that the former manager Charles Adams Otiso was fined Ksh 50,000 for the offense.
Otiso was demanding a Ksh10,000 bribe and only received Ksh 7,000. The bribe was reportedly aimed at facilitating issuance of tax compliance certificate.
“Former KRA manager Charles Adams Otiso found guilty & fined Ksh 50,000 for requesting for bribe of Ksh 10,000 and receiving Ksh 7,000. The bribe was aimed at facilitating issuance of tax compliance certificate. Matter resolved through plea bargain,” read the statement in part.
The case was part of a breakthrough made by DPP Noordin Haji in which it was revealed in early November, that the office recorded a rise in the conviction rates from 90.2 percent in 2017/2018 to 92.5 percent in 2019/2020, for general cases.
