MP Oscar Sudi is cleared by the court of forging KCSE certificates.
A Nairobi court has cleared Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi on forgery charges.
Chief Anti-Corruption Magistrate Felix Kombo released the MP on the grounds that the prosecution was unable to present the degrees he is suspected of forging.
In order to be granted permission to run in the general election of 2013, the MP was accused of falsifying his academic credentials and submitting a forged declaration form to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The investigating officer’s method of obtaining some of the evidence was criticized by the magistrate.
Mr. Sudi is charged with fabricating a business management diploma and passing it off as authentic paperwork from the Kenya Institute of Management.
Additionally, the MP was charged with providing an IEBC officer with incorrect information.
It is alleged that he tricked the commission by giving them the credentials.
It is said that in September 2015, Mr. Sudi gave fraudulent information to Derrick Kaisha, an EACC officer, at the Haron Court Hotel in Nairobi County.
Through a self-declaration form submitted to IEBC at Barng’etuny Plaza in Eldoret on that date, the legislator was also charged with making a false declaration while under oath.
According to the charge sheet, the allegations were made in violation of the Leadership and Integrity Act’s Section 46(1)(d) as well as Section 46(2).
