The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Tuesday, January 14, confirmed the arrest of a former senior official in the Kisumu County Government.
The individual is accused of obtaining the position of Director of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) under false pretences by presenting fake academic certificates.
During the three months he held the position, he is alleged to have defrauded the county of Ksh4,656,211 in salary payments.
An investigation by the commission revealed that he had forged a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science degree certificate, purportedly issued by Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
