Wednesday, September 10, 2025 - The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on 9th September 2025 arrested David Geoffrey Ombiro, an Administrative Officer at the Kisii County Assembly, over allegations of using forged documents to secure employment.
EACC investigations established that Mr. Ombiro altered his
birth certificate, changing his year of birth from 1967 to 1973, and used the
falsified certificate to procure a National Identity Card reflecting the
amended details.
He is also accused of forging a Kenya Revenue Authority
(KRA) Personal Identification Number, a National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF)
card, and a National Social Security Fund (NSSF) card to match the falsified
identity, which he subsequently submitted to the Kisii County Assembly as part
of his employment records.
Upon concluding investigations, EACC forwarded the case file
to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved charges against the
suspect.
The suspect was processed at the EACC South Nyanza Regional
Office and later taken to Kisii Central Police Station, where he spent the
night in custody before being arraigned at the Kisii Anti-Corruption Court on
Wednesday morning.
He pleaded not guilty to all counts and was released on a
bond of Kes150,000 with one surety of a similar amount, or alternatively, a
cash bail of Kes70,000.
The case has been set for a pre-trial conference on 25th September 2025.
