A Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) revenue collection assistant has been fined Sh 5 million in default to serve three years in prison for using a forged University of Nairobi degree to land his job.
Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Senior Principal Magistrate Celesa Asis Okore convicted and sentenced Okandah William John on three of four counts he faced, after ruling that a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting Option) degree he submitted to secure employment at NCWSC in 2016 was never issued by the University of Nairobi.
The magistrate found he defrauded the public utility of nearly Sh4.75 million in salary over seven years.
"The prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against the accused person in three counts as charged herein in counts 1, 3, and 4," the magistrate ruled.
