Trouble is brewing at the National Government Constituencies Development Fund NG-CDF offices after Moi University disowned a Degree certificate of a senior official at the crucial organization.
The officer in question, Florence Njuguna is the Lari Constituency Fund Manager.
Florence is said to have used fake documents from Moi University, where she presented a Degree in Bachelor of Business Management. Moi University has already confirmed it’s a fake degree as well as Kasneb who have also disowned her (Accounting CPK certificate).
In a letter in our possession, Moi University, Deputy Vice Chancellor has confirmed that Florence has never graduated from the institution with Bachelor of Business Management Degree.
“This is to confirm that the copy certificate for Bachelor of Business Management (Accounting), without a serial number attached is not authentic”, read the letter.
Despite the revelation the NG-CDF Board has failed to take action against Florence who is still in office handling millions of tax payers money.
The new development has left the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) exposed after the anti-graft body cleared Florence during a joint audit by the Public Service Commission and the Commission that discovered massive forgery of academic papers by public servants.
At the same time, investigative agencies are also following up on three other cases even as it emerges that most of the NG-CDF officers across the country have no certified academic papers.
Education stakeholders in Lari constituency are now a worried lot, considering she is handling tax payers’ money without proper qualifications. The Lari NG-CDF board has also been accused of covering up the fake academic papers story. When contacted for comment the EACC promised to issue a report on the matter soon.
Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairperson Amb. Anthony Muchiri said last month that over 2,000 public officers secured jobs, promotions and re-designations using fake academic papers.
Muchiri said this was discovered after PSC undertook an authentication exercise on the academic credentials of public officers. The PSC boss insisted that the Commission was handing over the findings of the academic and professional certificates report to the EACC and DCI for action.
EACC has affirmed that it will prosecute and recover all the benefits earned by people confirmed to have secured government jobs through fake academic papers. The Commission recently arrested a ward administrator in Marsabit for allegedly having secured employment with fake papers.
