The Ethics and Anti-Graft Commission (EACC) has confirmed that an audit targeting fake academic certificates and ghost workers in the public service is ongoing. Fake certificates have now become like a scourge in our country,” he stated. According to the commission, the use of fake certificates undermines professionalism and integrity in institutions. The recent warning comes when the commission is leading a nationwide crackdown to weed out servants with fake certificates. To prevent the use of fake credentials, the government had ordered that all public servants verify their academic papers before hiring to prevent loss of public funds.
