NAIROBI, Kenya – The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NAWASCO) employee for allegedly forging academic documents to secure employment and fraudulently earning over Sh9 million in public funds.
Edwin Amagola Munyeti is accused of using a fake Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate, purportedly issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), to land a job at NAWASCO in 2010.
