A Nairobi court on Tuesday sentenced a former member of the Kiambu County Assembly to four years in jail for forging an academic certificate.
Robert Kibe Githongo, the immediate former MCA for Kiamwangi Ward in Gatundu South, was found guilty of making a false document contrary to section 347(a) as read with section 349 of the Penal Code and uttering a false document contrary to section 353 of the Penal Code.
The anti-corruption court handed the politician a four-year jail term or pay a fine of Sh500,000—Sh250,000 for each offense.
Kibe was charged with making a false Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate S/No. 625123 purporting it to be a genuine certificate issued by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC).
He also faced a second count of uttering the fake KCSE certificate on December 29th, 2014, at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, purporting it to be a genuine certificate from the examination body.

@ Imkgoogo, “crime does not pay is a legal jargon,much like a criminal caught in the act pledges not guilty. In other words, crime does not pay because legally you cannot show tax return papers…legally. My two cents.
