Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A KDF officer on Monday admitted he paid Sh2.4 million to help six youths, including two relatives, to join Kenya Prisons.<\/p>\n

Anthony Barongo was testifying in a case where Nelson Mukara is charged with defrauding people Sh2.4 million by pretending that he was in a position to secure them employment in the police service.<\/p>\n

While being cross-examined by lawyer Danstan Omari, Barongo said he gave out the money as \u2018facilitation fee\u2019 not as bribes to secure jobs.<\/p>\n

Omari put Barongo to task to explain what the money he was allegedly giving out was for especially being a respected KDF officer.<\/p>\n

The lawyer asked him whether he too had paid the so-called \u2018facilitation fee\u2019 when joining the army but he denied, saying he never did.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a disciplined army man. You were involved in a bribery act of recruiting two of your relatives. Have you ever been charged?\u201d Omari asked.<\/p>\n

The court heard that between April and May, money was wired to Mukara\u2019s M-Pesa account in instalments, Sh1.6 Million was paid in cash at a hotel on Mombasa road.<\/p>\n

The second instalment paid was paid in two instalments of Sh250,000 via M-Pesa and Sh150,000 given in cash around Electricity House.<\/p>\n

The KDF officer alleged that the remaining Sh400,000 acted as his service fee.<\/p>\n

He claimed that he never dealt with the accused one on one but he paid the money to him through a lady.<\/p>\n

In the case, it is alleged that Mukara forged a National Police Service female docket number purporting it was a genuine document.<\/p>\n

He told the court that the money was never acknowledged to have been received by the accused person adding that his role was to receive the cash, give it out to the lady who would allegedly give out to the accused person.<\/p>\n
