EACC Investigates Thika Law Courts Chief Magistrate Stellah Atambo for Bribery Allegations
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched an investigation into allegations of bribery against Hon. Stellah Bonaeri Nyaboke Atambo, the Chief Magistrate at Thika Law Courts.
The probe, announced by EACC on Thursday, March 13, 2025, follows numerous complaints alleging that Atambo has been demanding and receiving bribes from individuals involved in criminal matters before her court.
According to the EACC, the allegations suggest that on various dates, the Chief Magistrate received substantial amounts of money through Patrick Njeri Murithi, a clerk in her court, who is suspected to have solicited the bribes from accused persons.
The investigation gained momentum after the Commission obtained search warrants and conducted searches at the residences of both Atambo and Murithi on the same day.
During the searches, authorities recovered relevant documents and information to support the investigations.
A total of Ksh2,070,000 in cash was discovered at the residence of Hon. Atambo, alongside various documents relevant to the case.
The findings have prompted the EACC to escalate its probe into the corruption allegations.
As part of the ongoing investigation, Hon. Stellah Atambo and Patrick Murithi have been escorted to EACC Headquarters for interviews and to record their statements.
The Commission has vowed to thoroughly examine the evidence and ensure accountability.
