Kenya’s Public Service Commission (PSC), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have vowed to root out civil servants who used fake academic credentials to secure jobs and promotions.

The pledge came during a joint press conference on Tuesday at the PSC headquarters in Nairobi.

PSC Chair Amb. Anthony Muchiri revealed that an initial probe found more than 2,000 public officers obtained appointments, promotions or redesignations using forged certificates.

“There are substantial cases of forged academic and professional certificates used for undue appointment, promotion or redesignation in the civil service,” he said.

Muchiri said PSC will hand over its findings to EACC and DCI for legal action against the implicated officers.

EACC Chair Dr David Oginde and DCI Director Mohamed Amin welcomed PSC’s move to tackle the problem.

Amin said hiring unqualified staff hurts productivity, performance and morale.

Oginde vowed EACC will work closely with DCI and PSC to “get rid of all fake certificates in the civil service”.

Also present were senior officials from the three agencies, including EACC CEO Twahib Mbarak and PSC Vice Chair Charity Kisotu.
