The former director-general of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra), Pavel Oimeke, has been sentenced to three years in jail or a Sh1 million fine after he was found guilty of receiving a Sh200,000 bribe to reopen a shuttered petrol station.

Anti-Corruption Court senior principal magistrate Peter Ooko, who convicted and sentenced Mr Oimeke over the graft charges, said that the ex-energy regulator had betrayed the trust bestowed upon him as a civil servant.
