A huge blow has been served to driver Morris Logedi Shaban whom the court has sentenced to three years in prison in case he fails to pay ksh 600,000 after he was found guilty of bribe worth sh 7,000 to a public officer.
“Court has heard and appreciated the mitigation of Morris Logedi Shaban but he exhibited a mind of a corrupt individual even when he was warned,” said Magistrate Douglas Ogoti.
Ogoti added that Logedi went ahead and offered a bribe even when he was warned.
Morris Logedi Shaban had been charged with two counts of giving bribe against the law on December 10, 2016.
The court was informed that along Professor Wangari Maathai road in Parklands area, he offered a bribe of Sh7,000 to Rogers Akaki a public officer, employed by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
The amount was an inducement so as not to be tested for the level of alcohol in his body.
