Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRISK) director Ephantus Wahome Kamau was on Monday arraigned in court for allegedly forging a degree certificate.
Wahome is accused of forging a Maseno University degree certificate in Human Resource Management and using it to secure employment at PRISK. He appeared at Milimani law courts where he was charged with two counts of forgery and uttering a fake document.
The charge sheet read that on September 20th, 2018 at Jumuia place in Kilimani within Nairobi, the accused knowingly and fraudulently uttered a certain document namely a university degree certificate serial number 111598 dated December 5th, 2008 to Leah Munjiru Macharia of Performers Rights Society of Kenya purporting it to be a genuine document, a fact you knew to be false.
His degree certificate was found to be fake after the Kenya Copyrights Board which regulates PRISK wrote to the DCI requesting verification of academic documents of its employees.
Wahome’s bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from Maseno University was among the academic documents submitted to the DCI by the copyrights board for scrutiny. The DCI then wrote to Maseno University asking it to verify the accused’s certificate.
“That Maseno University upon verification of the said academic certificate, they denied knowledge of the same vide their response,” the DCI said in a report.
The investigating officer wrote to PRISK requesting its employment records and it was established that Wahome used the forged document to secure a job there as a director.
Wahome denied the charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi and was released on a cash bail of Sh100,000. The matter will be mentioned on December 10th.
