Mr. President, fake academic certificates are choking Kenya’s economy and job market

Dear Mr President, Kenyans are appealing your intervention! We are about to sink!  We are about to die! Mr President, you may have heard (in Kenya) of fake doctors, fake preachers, fake policemen, ghost workers and fake money too. Indeed, the recent discovery of a fake policeman who rose through the ranks in the Administration Police to the position of superintendent before the on-going vetting smoked him out is a confirmation of a painful reality of ‘fakeness.’

Mr President, the world of fakeness is real in your country and its eating your Kenyan citizenry with urgency. This trend is seriously worrying and it’s igniting a national debate of the extent to which people present fake academic and professional certificates and get plump jobs under the disguise of this evil practices.  Even we’ve heard of University lecturers who have fake certificates and are leading institutions of learning!
