A puzzle has emerged over why the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has only now decided to charge Juja MP George Koimburi with forging academic certificates, nearly three decades after the alleged offence.
The legislator, who has held office since 2021, pleaded not guilty to six counts of forgery at the Kiambu Law Courts on Wednesday.
According to the charge sheet, Koimburi allegedly forged a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 1994 to secure entry into higher learning institutions.
He is also accused of falsifying a Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) certificate in Human Resource Development, along with other academic documents.
