"Every academic certificate in this country is now questionable for your information," Mbarak said. "Employers, universities and colleges bear significant blame for the forgery of academic certificates in public service," EACC deputy CEO Abdi Mohamud told MPs on July 27. Describing academic fraud as a threat to the integrity of Kenya's education system, Mohamud advised employers to undertake sufficient background checks on academic certificates submitted by job seekers. EACC has been arresting public servants in the national and county governments who got jobs with fake certificates. In the run-up to the 2022 general elections, several politicians were found with questionable academic certificates.
