The Judiciary has defended a Sh2 million fine against a former KRA staffer found guilty of receiving a Sh15 million bribe. On Wednesday, Justice Lawrence Mugambi had slapped Robert Maina Ngumi with the Sh2 million fine for soliciting and receiving a bribe of Sh15 million. Ngumi committed the crime six years ago and was presented to the Anti-Corruption court by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. “The accused solicited the amount of Sh15 million, but unknown to him, the Anti-Corruption Commission were alerted. This is regardless of the amount of the bribe received.“The Court imposed a fine of Sh1 million for each of the two counts thus the total fine of Sh2 million.
