EACC said Githongo forged a KCSE slip
Kiambu MCA Robert Githongo is wanted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) over allegations of forging academic documents to join University.
The MCA, while campaigning in Kiambu County for an elective seat in the 2017 General Election, outlined quality education as part of his agenda for the electorate.
That led him into winning the Kiamwangi Ward seat.
A Kenya Gazette EACC notice published on Friday, said that Githongo forged a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) slip to enroll for a diploma course at JKUAT and graduated in 2016.
EACC says its investigations have revealed that the suspect had submitted Self-Declaration Forms (A1) to EACC pursuant to Section 13 of the Leadership and Integrity Act in which he declared that he was a diploma holder.
Githongo had presented a forged certificate to JKUAT indicating that he had scored a C+ mean grade from Murera Secondary School.
The university says it further wrote to Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) requesting it to authenticate the certificate and it was found to be fake.
