A traffic police officer has earned praise from Kenyan social media users after a video of him refusing to take a bribe from a matatu driver went viral.

In a video that was first shared by a Twitter page by the name Nairobi Updates and that immediately went viral, the officer is seen declining a bribe by a PSV driver.

The traffic cop had pulled over a bus belonging to Mwiki Sacco Limited along Thika Road when the driver disembarks and tries to offer him a bribe.

The officer is seen throwing away the note as he continues to write the charges on his notebook before leaving on his motorbike.

It's not yet clear if the driver was arraigned in court for the offence he committed but the rare conduct of the cop could be an indication that not all police officers are corrupt.

Kenyan police officers especially those from the traffic unit are known for their appetite for bribes and have in the past been ranked the most corrupt among government officials.

President Uhuru Kenyattta has defended his family's wealth, noting that the fortune was legitimately acquired. In an interview BBC’s Hard Talk host Zeinab Badawi during his just-concluded visit to the United States, Kenyatta said his family's wealth is public information and that he declares his net worth every year.

“What we own what we have is open to the public as a public servant. I am supposed to make my wealth known and we declare every year, and I have always said, if their is an instance where somebody can say that what we have done or obtained has not been legitimate, say so, we are ready to face any court.” President Kenyatta told Zeinab.

The Head of State further said he and his family are ready to take a lifestyle audit even if it's backdated to his great-grandfather. He said he's committed to leaving a legacy by slaying graft.

“This is something I am committed to and something I am determined to leave as my legacy in this country,” he added.

“As a government an as an individual, I am committed to this fight. As you’ve seen over the last few months, cases are now being finalized a lot faster. We are looking forward for our courts to do their part.”

Asked if the ‘big fish’ will be spared in the crackdown, Kenyatta responded; “You’ve already heard about them being presented before courts of law, what is remaining now is for our independent Judiciary to do their work and bring Justice to the people of Kenya.”

Kenya Airways has recorded a loss of Sh4 billion in the first six months of 2018, representing a 30 percent improvement from the Sh5.7 billion posted in the same period the previous year.

The airline’s revenue grew to Sh52.1 billion in the half -year of 2018 from Sh50 billion in the same period in 2017.

Releasing the half-year results on Wednesday, Kenya Airways Chief Executive Officer Sebastian Mikosz said the increased revenue was as a result of more destinations, more cargo and more fleet.

"The lowest earnings before interest and taxes margins are in Africa, despite growth in GDP, the market is not growing. This is a signal that we need to analyze how the market is evolving," he said.

He added: "Some of the key challenges we are experiencing are fuel prices, economic growth variation, volatile exchange rates and repatriation of funds."

Mikosz said the airline carried 2.3 million passengers, attained a cabin factor of 75.9 per cent and on time performance of 82 per cent within the period.

Kenya Airways Chairman Michael Joseph mentioned fuel price volatility as one of the major challenges the airline is facing.

“The price per barrel has been on an upward trend since the beginning of this year closing at USD 74 as at 30 June 2018 representing an increase of 12pc in global fuel prices within the first half of the financial year,” said Joseph.

“Looking forward, the airline will continue to focus on an optimized network to create more connections through Nairobi and in turn increase efficiency in order to reduce overall costs, as we focus on return to profitability.”
