Mr. John Chacha Nyamohanga alias Moses Marandwi was found guilty by Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate, Hon. Douglas Ogoti of personation on 6th November, 2019. He personated John Chacha Nyamohanga the KDF Officer.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) received a complaint on 13th July 2016 alleging that two public officers, John Chacha Nyamohanga alias Moses Marandwi an Administration Police Constable and John Chacha Nyamohanga, a KDF officer were sharing school certificates originally belonging to one of them.

Investigations established that ‘Moses’ was using a KCSE certificate belonging to John Chacha Nyamohanga a KDF officer to secure employment as Administration Police in 2006.

The DPP recommended prosecution of the police officer for the offence of Personation of a person named in a certificate contrary to Section 384 of the Penal Code
