In a judgment delivered on October 22, 2026, Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate Hon. Isabellah Barasa convicted Ms. Margaret Njeri Mbugua on three counts of fraudulent acquisition of public property, uttering a false document and presenting a forged certificate after she pleaded guilty under a plea agreement with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). On each of the three counts, the court fined Ms. Mbugua Kes20,000 with a default sentence of six months imprisonment for each count. The court also ordered the accused to pay Kes1,000,000 in compensation to the Government on the charge of fraudulent acquisition of public property. Investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) established that the accused submitted a forged Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate for examinations purportedly undertaken in 1996 at Gachoire Secondary School to secure employment at the County Assembly of Kiambu.She later used the document to secure employment at County Assembly of Kiambu, where she received a salary of Kes4,921,953.80 between November 2020 and August 2025. She was subsequently charged with four offences: forgery of a KCSE certificate, fraudulent acquisition of public property, uttering a false document contrary to Section 353 as read with Section 349 of the Penal Code, and presenting a forged certificate contrary to Section 34(a) of the Kenya National Examinations Council Act. She pleaded guilty to the latter three charges. The Commission welcomes the conviction, noting that the outcome serves as a deterrent to individuals who engage in similar criminal conduct.

𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗔𝗚 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗞𝗖𝗦𝗘 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗘 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.

The case arose from investigations into the irregular transfer of public funds from the Homa Bay County Assembly’s salary suspense account to a joint bank account held by Achieng and Obonyo. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 that between December 24, 2015, and December 22, 2017, Otieno, then the Assembly Clerk, authorized transfers totaling Kes12,571,166.50 to the joint account.

The Commission established that Achieng was a teacher employed by the Teachers Service Commission, while Obonyo was the Business Growth and Development Manager at Equity Bank’s Homa Bay Branch during the period under investigation. Neither was a supplier or contractor to the County Government or Assembly. The transactions involved varying amounts transferred on sporadic dates, a pattern inconsistent with regular salary payments. The Commission consequently filed a recovery suit seeking the return of the funds under ACEC Suit No. E011 of 2022. In its judgment, the court held Otieno liable for causing the loss of public funds through corrupt and fraudulent conduct. Achieng and Obonyo were also found liable for fraudulently receiving public money for work not done or services not rendered.
