David Nyabuti was convicted by the Anti-Corruption Court after the prosecution, led by Naomi Isoe, proved that he fraudulently acquired public property and uttered false documents.
David Nyabuti, a former employee of Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for using forged academic and disability certificates to secure employment and benefit from public funds. Prosecutors allege that Nyabuti, who worked at KenGen from 2003 to 2018, used a falsified KCSE certificate obtained in 1994 and a forged disability certificate to receive salaries and benefits totaling Sh14.9 million.
The court ordered him to pay Sh14,946,118 in compensation for the fraudulent public property he acquired, in addition to a Sh900,000 fine. Nyabuti was also convicted on two counts of uttering false documents, each carrying a two-year prison sentence.
