Police Probe Karen Nyamu After Claims About Forged Recruitment Certificate

The National Police Service (NPS) is examining a video in which nominated Senator Karen Nyamu says she helped a supporter use a forged KCSE certificate to join the police. In a Radio Generation interview on October 23, Nyamu said the recruit had attended training at the police college in Kiganjo before being arrested for forgery alongside 17 others. NPS spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga called the remarks regrettable and unacceptable and said recruits implicated in document-forgery cases had been expelled. The service said applicants’ documents are subject to verification and warned that attempts to secure recruitment fraudulently would fail.
