EACC arrests ex-Auditor-General official over forged degree certificate
The Economic and Organized Crime (EACC) has arrested Hannah Wambui Mwaura, a former Auditor-General, over allegations of forging a degree certificate. Mwaura is set to appear before the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court to enter her plea on Friday, August 7. The charges against her relate to the fabrication of academic credentials, which is considered a serious breach of public trust.
The EACC alleges that Mwaura used forged documents to misrepresent her qualifications, potentially undermining the integrity of public office. The investigation into her case was initiated following a tip-off from an internal audit. Authorities have not yet disclosed the full details of the forgery or the extent of the alleged misconduct.
Mwaura’s legal team has not commented publicly on the case, but sources indicate that she may face charges under the Public Officers Act. The case highlights ongoing efforts by anti-corruption agencies to hold officials accountable for unethical behavior. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
