A former employee of the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) has been arraigned before the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court over allegations of forging a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate and using it to secure employment.
The suspect, Mr. Elisha Okung Oguma, was arrested by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) this morning at his residence in Kibera.
Investigations by the Commission revealed that the accused allegedly forged a KCSE certificate purportedly issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), indicating that he had sat his examinations at Orero Secondary School.
He presented the falsified certificate to secure employment at the OAG, resulting in the fraudulent acquisition of public property valued at Kes5,876,203.89.Upon conclusion of the investigations, the Commission forwarded the inquiry file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved the prosecution of the suspect on charges of forgery, presenting a forged certificate and fraudulent acquisition of public property.
The accused was released on a cash bail of Kes300,000 or an alternative bond of Kes 800,000, with a surety of a similar amount.
The matter will be mentioned on November 5th 2026 for directions.
The Commission remains committed to investigating cases involving falsified academic certificates and urges the public to report suspected cases to ensure that those responsible are held accountable in accordance with the law.
