Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have summoned 143 Kisii County Government employees for presenting questionable academic qualifications to secure employment in the public office.
In a letter to the County Secretary and Head of Public Service, EACC Regional Manager Ruth Yator on Monday urged the official to ensure those named present themselves before investigators to record statements.
Majority of those affected are top officers in various departments who were employed in the last regime under Governor James Ongwae.
“To facilitate this investigation, kindly inform the following officers to appear before our investigators at our South Nyanza Regional office, Kisii, along Kisii-Kilgoris road on the date and time indicated against their names,” the letter.
A report by the Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM) also revealed that some employees in Kisii used fake certificates to seek employment. The report was made public in 2023 by the IHRM Executive Director Queresha Abdullahi.
“We also conducted verification of certificates through the Kenya National Examinations Council. Given the nature of this report as it touches on individuals and its sensitivity, we are leaving it with the Governor to take it up with the stakeholders and relevant authorities,” Abdullahi said then.
Report also revealed that the county had 1,314 ghost workers.
