A former head of examinations at the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) has told a Nairobi court that Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi was not their student.
John Matsheshe revealed that the college admission number on a diploma certificate presented to the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission belongs to a woman, Scholastica Achieng Odhiambo. “The admission number NRB/20879 belongs to Scholastica Achieng Odhiambo of diploma in management of NGOs.The student was registered in 2005,” Matsheshe submitted.
Fake diploma certificate
He further said that records from the institute disclosed that the diploma certificate in question was not Sudi’s, adding it belongs to one Elkanah K. Kimutai who graduated on September 24, 2009, with a Diploma in Purchasing and Supplies Management.
“The copy of the presented certificate is not a copy of a genuine document issued by the institute. The number 36262 on the certificate presented to me belongs to a document issued to Elkanah K. Kimutai of admission number NRB/20870. As per our records, the said Oscar Kipchumba Sudi never registered as a student of the institute,” he submitted.
KCSE certificate On Tuesday, October 26, Kenya National Examinations Council principal examinations secretary Nabiki Kashu told the same court that Sudi did not register nor sit KCSE in 2006 as he claimed. The court heard that the politician allegedly presented a KCSE certificate from Highway Secondary School for the purpose of election.
However, it was discovered that the KCSE certificate belongs to another student who sat for his exams at Parklands Secondary school in 2006.
The code on Sudi’s certificate, 401006, belongs to Parklands Secondary School while the index number 401006/081 belonged to Obaje Bob Onyango who was registered and sat for the national examinations at Parklands.
Sudi’s academic qualification doubted She was testifying in a case in which Sudi has been charged with forging a diploma certificate in business management purporting it to be a genuine document issued by KIM. He is also accused of forging his KCSE certificate purporting it to be a genuine document issued by the Kenya National Examination council. Kashu, the eighth prosecution witness, said they received a letter from the EACC on September 17, 2015.
The commission was requesting confirmation of candidacy on academic results of Sudi for the year 2006. The hearing will continue on November 17. The matter was adjourned after Sudi said he needed time to attend to his sick child.
