Sudi was also charged with giving false information to the IEBC, and for misleading Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission officials who were investigating the matter.
Stop prosecution
The MP had initially rushed to the High Court to stop his prosecution after a former IEBC official testified that the MP had lied to him when seeking clearance to contest for the Kapseret seat.
Bernard Mulati testified that Sudi's certificates were forged, but that he was not aware at the time he cleared him.
"He presented the papers at Kapseret Constituency where I was the Returning Officer. He presented the high school and diploma certificates for nominations. I assumed the certificates were authentic until much later when I realised they were forged," said Mr Mulati.
Fair hearing
At the High Court, Sudi argued that he was not accorded a fair hearing by the EACC, and that the charges were a violation of his privacy and dignity.
But Lady Justice Hedwig Ong'undi in July 2017 dismissed the application, ruling that the prosecution had not violated his rights and was justified to charge him based on the evidence linking him to the alleged forgery.
Following Justice Ong'undi's verdict, the case at the Magistrate's Court proceeded from where it had stopped. Only two prosecution witnesses have yet to testify.
The case will proceed today.
