Fake Degrees

Forgery of academic papers has been a common thing among Kenyan politicians. Or is it? Well, several politicians have pending cases in courts over their questionable academic papers, which has become a trend among politicians.

Two executive members from the County Government of Kitui are reportedly facing the sack for having fake university degrees.

According to the MCAs, Trade and Cooperatives Executive, Philip Mumo, and Health and Sanitation Executive, Rosaita Mbukua Ngina,submitted to the House’s Appointment Committee falsified information.

The Standard reported that the MCA’s, on Tuesday, petitioned Governor Charity Ngilu to remove the duo from office for having forged their university degrees.

The MCAs further want the governor to sack the two within a week of passing the resolution.

Failure to do so, the legislators vowed that the Assembly would initiate impeachment motions of the executives.

Majority Leader and Athi Ward MCA, Peter Kilonzo, also recommended that Mumo and Ngina “be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for appropriate disciplinary action”.

Furthermore, the Assembly resolved to push the matter to the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) for recovery of all monies, whether salaries, assets or otherwise, that were received or acquired by the two for the period of their employment.

In May, The University of Nairobi reportedly disowned Meru’s Sports Executive Daniel Kiogora’s degree. 

Kiogora had presented his alleged UoN academic papers to the Meru County Assembly during his vetting. 

According to the Cabinet member, he graduated with a second-class, upper division Bachelor of Commerce degree from the university in 2010.

However, the academic documents were found to be fake upon inquiry.
