COVID millionaires tattletale Godwins Agutu is among three suspects arrested by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers for soliciting a Ksh.2M bribe.
The three suspects; Godwins Otieno Agutu, Alex Mutua Mutuku and Ken Gichovi Kimathi reportedly abducted the Director of Hi-tech Enterprise while claiming to be a multi-agency team from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and KRA.
The trio then demanded a Ksh.2M bribe to reportedly kill an alleged tax evasion case involving a victim who is already in police custody.
The suspects used two Toyota Prados Reg. Nos. GKB 070B and KCY 280Q, to storm the victim’s office on September 26 where they picked his laptop and left.
The suspects appeared again on September 29 and demanded the Ksh. 2M bribe; reports say when the victim was unable to raise the amount, they forced him into the GKB vehicle and drove off to Lutheran House along Nyerere road.
The victim was then forced to contact his family members to get the amount but only managed to raise Ksh.500,000.
The suspects then escorted him to his house in Westlands where they took the cash.

Detectives say they nabbed the three at Lutheran House and established that the GKB 070B belongs to a Range Rover Discovery attached to the Judiciary.
Upon interrogations, Godwins Agutu said he runs Network Action Against Corruption (NAAC), an NGO.
He also fingered three other suspects; Houdouvia Njoroge, Harrison Ochar and Brian Kimemia.
He claimed the three are officers from KRA.
The suspects were arraigned on Wednesday, with a Nairobi court granting detectives a day to finish the investigations.

  • Network Action Against Corruption (NAAC) Director Gordwins Agutu has come out to clear the air after members of the public raised suspicions about him.
    Following his appearance on Dennis Okari's Covid-19 Millionaires exposé, reports surfaced that he had been arrested for the possession on many staff identification cards including one from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Kenya Revenue Authority, and the Kenya Pharmacy and Poisons Board.
    Speaking with Kenyans.co.ke, Agutu claimed that the cards were issued to him as an undercover investigator.

    He stated that as the director of the Network Action against Corruption (NAAC), he had patnered with security agencies to investigate an issue at the Kenya Ports Authority.
    "There was some contraband sugar that was seized at the port. We received reports that some of the sugar was being released in small quantities, and went it to investigate. The badges helped to get access to information for the purposes of investigations," he explained.
    Agutu added that those involved got wind of his the operation and decided to out him a conman and impostor.


    "I have a letter written to the DCI to investigate over the same," he added.
    He stated that some of the cartels that were involved in the KPA sugar scandal had found a way into the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency and were using the same tactics to discredit his remarks on the Covid-19 Millionaires exposé.
    Agutu further added that other state agencies he had investigated included the Kenya Pipeline and the National Construction Authority.
    "NAAC is responsible for investigations and preventing corruption, economic crimes and educating the public on the dangers of corruption," he explained.
    He added that the NGO does not have any prosecution powers but collaborates with the Attorney General, DPP, DCI, and EACC.



    "All cases are forwarded after investigations for prosecution. NAAC receives funding in aid of its operation," he explained.
    He also revealed that he had gone into Industrial Area Prison as an undercover inmate and later appeared during an expose on KTN News.
