EACC Director Upper Eastern region Ignatius Wekesa said the man identified as Salesa Adano was arrested with Sh200,000 cash.
“The man had submitted a list of 46 names of the preferred presiding officers to be employed in the constituency,” Wekesa said.
The commission is seeking to recruit 359,958 officials to manage the August 8 general election.
Adano was arrested after the IEBC officer alerted the detectives.
"The officer informed us where the suspect wanted to meet him in a hotel and we laid a trap," an EACC officer said.
Wekesa said the suspect will be arraigned in court immediately the investigations are complete.
“We are doing the investigation before submitting the file to the Director of Public Prosecution for a go-ahead to arraign the suspect in Court”
