MP OSCAR SUDI CLEARED BY THE COURT OF FORGING KCSE CERTIFICATES.
Chief Anti-Corruption Magistrate Felix Kombo released the MP because the prosecution was unable to present the degrees he is suspected of forging.
A Nairobi court has cleared Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi on forgery charges.
Chief Anti-Corruption Magistrate Felix Kombo released the MP because the prosecution was unable to present the degrees he is suspected of forging.
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.
In addition, the MP was charged with providing an IEBC officer with misleading material.
In an attempt to trick the commission, he is said to have given them the certificates.
In September 2015, at the Haron Court Hotel in Nairobi County, Mr. Sudi was accused of giving false information to Derrick Kaisha, an officer of the EACC.
A self-declaration form submitted to IEBC at Barng'etuny Plaza in Eldoret on that date allegedly contained a false statement made by the legislator under oath.
Section 46(1)(d) read in conjunction with Section 46(2) of the Leadership and Integrity Act was allegedly violated by the accusations made in the charge sheet.
