A former accountant at the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) has been fined Ksh.130,000.
This was after she pleased guilty to offences involving falsified academic documents used to secure employment.
Lillian Mweche Muyumba was convicted by the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court on October 19, 2026, after admitting to two charges under a plea agreement with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The court fined her Ksh.30,000 for uttering a false document and Ksh.100,000 for presenting a forged KCSE certificate.
The court ordered that she would serve one year in prison if she failed to pay the first fine and two years for the second offence.
Investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) established the suspect submitted a forged Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate for examinations she purportedly sat in 1996 at Moi Girls Secondary School, Nangili, to secure employment at NuPEA.
She pleaded guilty to the latter two offences, with the charges relating to uttering a false document brought under Section 353 as read with Section 349 of the Penal Code, and presenting a forged certificate under Section 34(a) of the Kenya National Examinations Council Act.
The commission welcomed the conviction, saying the outcome would serve as a deterrent to individuals who engage in similar criminal conduct.
