The fight against fake academic certificates among politicians got a boost on Wednesday last week when the anti-corruption court jailed a former MCA in Kiambu for four years.
Nairobi Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ooko found former Kiamwangi MCA Robert Githongo guilty of two counts of forging academic certificates and uttering the forged document to a public institution to get admission.
"I am satisfied that the prosecution has proved the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The accused person is sentenced to four years in jail for the two counts or pay a fine of Sh500,000," ruled Mr Ooko.
