Ex-city hall employee charged with degree forgery.[File, Standard]
A former City Hall employee has been sentenced to four years in jail or a fine of Sh5.04 million for using a forged University of Nairobi degree certificate to secure a job and siphon millions of shillings in public funds for seven years.
Okandah William John, who served as a Revenue Collection Assistant at the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), was convicted and sentenced by Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate Celesa Okore after finding him guilty of three counts of fraudulent acquisition of public property, uttering a false document and deceiving a principal.
"The prosecution has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt against the accused person in three counts, and he is hereby convicted in accordance with Section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code," Magistrate Okere ruled.
