Major Audit Exposes 200 Parliament Staff Hold Fake Papers

Over 200 staffers in Parliament have been ensnared in a crackdown on holders of fraudulent academic certificates.

This extensive operation, initiated by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) more than a year ago, has uncovered a troubling trend of moral decay and graft within government employment.

The Star has learned that the audit, which is currently verifying the authenticity of various academic credentials—including KCPE, KCSE, diplomas, degrees, and master’s certificates—has implicated both senior and junior employees, triggering widespread panic among the Parliamentary workforce.

Concerns are mounting that the ongoing scrutiny could claim more victims in the coming days and weeks as investigations dig deeper.

So far, the audit has primarily targeted those on the PSC payroll, which amounts to approximately 1,300 individuals.

Insiders expect the probe to expand to employees working in MPs’ constituency offices, further widening the scope of this burgeoning scandal.

Among the high-profile casualties identified are top directors and deputy directors, some of whom have been embedded within Parliament for decades and are on the cusp of retirement.

Even aides working for influential parliamentary leaders are not immune to scrutiny, with reports citing affected staff members within the ranks of commissioners.
