The Public Service Commission (PSC) will begin verifying academic certificates digitally before hiring new employees, in an effort to curb the growing use of fake credentials in Kenya’s public sector.

PSC Commissioner Francis Meja said the commission is integrating its system with the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to replace the current manual verification process.
