The Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) has flagged over 10,000 fake certificates from various Government Departments and agencies as part of an ongoing qualifications authentication exercise.
The revelations come after the state agency received 47,000 files from approximately 400 government institutions following a 2022 circular mandating the verification of employee credentials.
KNQA Chairman Stanley Kiptis confirmed that the 10,000 flagged files have been forwarded back to the respective institutions for further action.
Kiptis expressed concerns over the slow pace of the verification exercise, urging institutions that have not yet submitted their files to expedite the process.
