Kenyan lawmaker George Koimburi, the Member of Parliament for Juja constituency, has been charged with forging academic certificates, the country’s public prosecutor announced on Wednesday.
Koimburi faces six charges—three for falsifying academic documents and three for presenting them as genuine. Prosecutors allege that he forged his high school certificate and two university course participation certificates to meet the minimum educational requirements for parliamentary candidates.
Koimburi Pleads Not Guilty
Koimburi appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was released on cash bail, pending further hearings.
Under Kenyan law, politicians must have completed high school to qualify for parliamentary positions. However, cases of politicians presenting fake academic credentials have been frequent in the country, though successful prosecutions remain rare.
The case has reignited discussions about integrity in Kenya’s political leadership, with growing calls for stricter enforcement of educational qualification requirements for public office.
