A former Assistant Elections Officer at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in Kenya, George Kipyatich Kibor, has been fined Sh80,000 and given an eight-month prison sentence for using a forged degree certificate. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) announced the conviction delivered on September 17, 2026, by the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court.
Kibor had submitted a fake Bachelor of Business Management (Finance and Banking) degree certificate from Moi University to support his promotion from Grade 8 to Grade 7 within the IEBC. While he was acquitted of the forgery charge, he was convicted for uttering a false document. The EACC welcomed the conviction, emphasizing that it serves as a deterrent to others who might engage in similar fraudulent activities to gain employment-related advantages.
