They responded to the report and arrested two suspects before recovering the money. However, instead of exhibiting it, the officers shared the loot between themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did the investigations and arrested five people including three police officers. However, the stand by disciplinary court took action and charged the three police officers with corrupt tendencies and scandalous behavior. The court decided that two of the officers (Mr Cheptoyek and Isanga ) be dismissed from the force. The other one was found not guilty,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
