Over 200 Parliamentary Staff With Fake Papers Sent Home[LIST]

A crackdown on Bunge staffers has seen atleast 200 staffers, caught with fake papers, going home.

The crackdown that was ordered by the Parliamentary Service Commission more than a year ago has affected both senior and junior employees.

In the audit, Parliament is verifying the authenticity of KCPE, KCSE, diploma, degree and master’s certificates held by its staff.

The exercise is focused on staff on the PSC payroll, with insiders indicating that it will soon be cascaded to those working for MPs in constituency offices. About 1,300 people are on the PSC payroll. This excludes staff in MPs’ constituency offices.

Among the officers already caught in the fake academic scam include top officers in the parliamentary leadership, Those working for commissioners, top directors and deputy directors. They include permanent employees and those on contract.

“It is serious. As we speak today, more than 200 people have been sent home. We don’t know what will happen [to them] but they are not here,” a source confirmed.

“The exercise is going on well but it’s too sensitive. We realised that many people are holding positions they do not deserve because they do not qualify for them,” a commissioner added.
