Four individuals implicated in the forgery of credentials to secure positions at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital were presented before the Eldoret law courts on Monday.

This comes as authorities intensified efforts to combat fake certificates among public servants.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspects include Bethwel Kipkoech, Celestine Cherop Chepsoi, Eddah Cheptanui Boit, and Jackson Kipkosgei.

“They were charged with the offences of forgery of academic certificates, making of false documents, uttering of false documents and fraudulent acquisition of public property,” DCI said.

They pleaded not guilty to the charges and were granted bail set at Kes 100,000 cash or a bond of Kes 300,000.
