On July 24, 2018, a senior clerical officer attached to Kasarani registration bureau was found guilty of receiving a Sh2,500 bribe from a woman who was desperate to have fast-track the processing of son’s birth certificate.
Nahum Syombua Musyoka had given up the hope of ever getting hold of the vital document after waiting for it for weeks when a friend referred her to Ms Justina Syonzua, clerical officer who would help her get the job done quickly.
