A former employee of the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) has been charged at the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court over allegations that he forged a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate to secure employment.
Elisha Okung Oguma was arrested by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) at his residence in Kibera on Thursday morning before being arraigned in court.
According to the commission, investigations established that Oguma allegedly forged a KCSE certificate purportedly issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), indicating that he had sat his examinations at Orero Secondary School.
The suspect allegedly presented the certificate to secure employment at the OAG, through which he is accused of fraudulently acquiring public property valued at KSh5,876,203.89 in salaries and benefits.
Following the investigations, the EACC forwarded the inquiry file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved charges of forgery, presenting a forged certificate and fraudulent acquisition of public property.
Oguma was released on a cash bail of KSh300,000 or an alternative bond of KSh800,000, with a surety of a similar amount.
The case is scheduled for mention on November 5, 2026, for directions.
The EACC said it remains committed to investigating cases involving falsified academic certificates and urged members of the public to report suspected cases for appropriate action.
