Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation former Finance and ICT Manager Noah Oluoch Oketch has been arrested.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) said Oketch was arrested for using forged academic certificates to secure employment at the agency.
The suspect, who is currently held at EACC police station for processing, is set to be arraigned in Milimani.
The anti-graft body said that the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation is among agencies with cases of forged academic and professional certificates.
Last month, EACC wrote to the Head of Public Service and all accounting officers in the civil service advising them not to pay benefits to civil servants with forged academic papers and professional certificates who are resigning from service.
At the same time, the EACC moved to court seeking to freeze the over 100 properties and multiple vehicles belonging to a former Principal Land Registrar based in Thika believed to be proceeds of crime.
In a letter dated March 11, 2024, the ethics body has warned against the processing of payments to civil servants who have opted to resign or retire early as they face cases of forged academic and professional certificates.
