Former IEBC official fined Sh80,000 for using fake degree certificate
The court fined Kibor Sh80,000 and ordered that he serve eight months in prison if he fails to pay the fine.
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.
