Thursday, April 18, 2024 - President William Ruto has called for the resignation of government employees who were recently exposed in the public service workforce audit.
Speaking during the 3rd National Wage Bill Conference 2024
at the Bomas of Kenya, Ruto highlighted that there were 2,000 government
employees with fake certificates.
He noted that the government could no longer allow
unqualified Kenyans to hold positions in government.
Ruto also opined that those listed in the report need
to refund the government their salaries. He likened their actions to acquiring
money through false pretense.
"Those who have earned money by using fake certificates
should refund us that money. Those in government should leave and go and look
for money to pay us.
"We must do what we need to do. I am ready to face the
consequences. I am already called Zakayo," he stated.
According to a recent report by the Public Service
Commission (PSC), over 1,000 employees in notable ministries and government
institutions have forged their certificates.
It was noted that the employees were either changing their
grades or forging authentic academic certificates issued by other government
institutions.
PCS noted that the fake certificates were either used to
secure jobs or the promotions.
