By Chris Ojow

Contrary to the High Court of Kenya Judges who take home big salary and

running away to offer services to the Citizens of Kenya hiding under

the newly emergence disease the Coronavirus, claiming that their age

bracket render them vulnerable to the deadly pandemic but not to the

fat tax payers salary they handsomely pocket and the benefits.

The Anti Corruption Senior Magistrates in Kenya are the only Public

servants who have risked it all through their lives to offer services

to Kenyans even with the deadly pandemic crippling the services as many

workers opting to work at home with several companies closing and

majority of Kenyans rendered jobless.

The anti Corruption courts in Kenya has been working day to day through

out within the Country and this week, a public servant was jailed for

two years after being found guilty in three counts of corruptly

soliciting for a benefit and corruptly receiving a benefit.

Where the convict Dennis Paul Manoti an Accountant at the County

Government of Nairobi was arrested and charged in the year 2016

after corruptly receiving a bribe of 0.1 million kenya shillings to

change the registration name of a private land company.

The former Top accountant with the County Government was also found

guilty by the trial Anti Corruption Court Senior Principal Magistrate

Felix Kombo for soliciting huge sums, 6 million kenya shillings

and half a million to change the registration name of a private

company.

Dennis Paul Manoti was sentenced to two years imprisonment or pay a

fine of 1.5 million kenya shillings for his freedom.

Under the revised Anti Corruption laws, anyone found guilty of taking a

bribe or soliciting is liable to a maximum fine of five million kenya

shillings with several years sentence depending on the offence.
