A Busia court on Friday declined to release two people accused of hawking fake Covid-19 certificates to truck drivers on bond. The third suspect identified as Mark Ouma who owns the cyber where the two were busted with the fake certificates is on the run after getting wind of the impending arrest. “We arrested one of the suspects when he was taking some fake certificates to Malaba border who lead us to where his accomplice was,” said Mr Wamalwa. Police discovered texts containing names of at least 20 drivers who were to receive the fake certificate showing they were negative to allow them to cross the border. “They were to produce 20 fake certificates on Wednesday before we arrested them following a tip-off,” said Wamalwa.
