A former Revenue Collection Assistant at the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Limited (NCWSC) has been ordered to pay over Sh4 million in fines or serve a three-year jail term for using a forged university degree certificate to secure employment.
Senior Principal Magistrate Celesa Okore of Milimani Anti-Corruption Court convicted Okandah William John because he knowingly used a fake certificate to fraudulently acquire public funds in salaries.
In a ruling delivered on June 3, 2026, Okandah was sentenced to pay a mandatory fine of Sh4,749,597, being the amount fraudulently acquired, or serve two years' imprisonment in default.
