Kenyan lawmaker George Sunkuyia, who represents Kajiado West in Parliament, has been arrested for allegedly forging a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate. He was apprehended on Tuesday, May 27, by detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The Kajiado West MP is accused of submitting a forged KCSE certificate to Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in January 2012, claiming it had been issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). According to the charge sheet “On the 30th of January 2012, at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), Juja, within Kiambu County, you knowingly and fraudulently presented to the Registrar of Academic Affairs a forged Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, Serial No. 2988068, with a mean grade of C+, purporting it to be a genuine certificate issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council.” He was first elected to Parliament in 2017 under the Jubilee Party and re-elected in the 2022 general election under the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. Sunkuyia is the latest MP to be accused of forging academic documents. In February, Juja MP George Koimburi was charged with forging a KCSE certificate and two certificates from JKUAT.
