Narok South OCPD Ezekiel Kiche and his driver Constable David Maina were arrested on Thursday morning at Longisa town with a government vehicle loaded with cider posts.
The arrest was effected after Bomet County ecosystem conservator, Ann Nyaoke, informed the local Kenya Forest Service officials of a government vehicle she suspected was carrying banned cider posts.
KFS chief inspector, Evans Ontiri, said he dispatched a team that intercepted the lorry about one kilometre from Longisa township.
