It's time to audit employees papers

The Government must urgently intervene to curb the use of fake certificates. The recent discovery of a policeman who rose through the ranks in the Administration Police to the position of superintendent before the vetting commission smoked him out, is a confirmation of the painful reality of how corruption has permeated into every system of government.

Charles Nyakeri used his cousin Nelson Omwenga‘s certificate to get recruited into the police force over two decades ago. For the last 22 years, Mr Nyakeri alias Nyakundi rose through the ranks in the Administration Police to the position of superintendent before the National Police Service Commission smoked him out in the ongoing vetting of police officers.
