A police officer was Tuesday arrested as he tried to sell a gun to a dealer in Naivasha Town.
The officer seconded to the National Environment and Management Authority (Nema) had arrived at a club in Naivasha alongside two other people ready to sell his Ceska pistol with 40 bullets.
Apart from the 15 bullets that were in the pistol, 25 others were in a box, an indication the owner wanted to sell them.
It is not clear how much he was to sell the said weapon.
A Ceska pistol found on his is government-issued gun.
Constable Patrick Kimani who is attached to police headquarters but seconded to Nema was arrested after they drove to the club ready for the business.
He had apparently asked an informer in the town to look for a buyer of a gun he had.
It was then that police were alerted and posed as buyers and a site for the business was set up.
Police said they managed to recover a government-issued pistol from the three and a car they were using.
They were placed in custody as an interrogation on them goes on.
