The official allegedly demanded the bribe to ensure a favourable ruling for an individual who had been booked at Soweto Police Station for illegal waste dumping.
The anti-corruption watchdog forwarded 52 files to the DPP for review. Out of the 51 files, 47 of them are recommended for prosecution, two of them for administrative action, and two files for closure.
The anti-corruption watchdog wants eight individuals prosecuted for their alleged roles in a multi million-shilling scandal that saw taxpayers lose Sh199 million at the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
The cash was lost through manufactured claims and fictitious surgeries for which hospitals demanded payments. Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in its quarterly report released this month says the directors and employees of Beirut Pharmacy and Medical Centre, registered doctors, and officials from defunct NHIF colluded to embezzle public funds by raising fictitious medical claims.
