A request for a bribe via a text on Signal message app and secret tape recording were used to nab the former head of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) while seeking a Sh500,000 bribe to reopen a shuttered petrol station.

Anti-corruption officials seized thousands of shillings from Mr Pavel Oimeke, now Bonchari MP, suspected to be a bribe, a Nairobi court heard yesterday.
