Twelve police recruits have been released on KSH 200,000 cash bail each after appearing at the Milimani Law Court in Nairobi. They are accused of forging Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education KCSE certificates to gain entry into the Kenya Police Service. The suspects, identified as Brayan Wekesa Mulongo, Phelix Kelei, Hashim Furaha, Geoffrey Mutai, Eugene Kipchirchir, Brian Kipkemoi, Irene Wanja, William Ngatia, Kevin Kipchumba, Kelvin Mutusi Mutua, Morgan Kasie Inyasa, and Moses Kobia, pleaded not guilty to charges of forgery and uttering false documents. The forgery charge, contrary to Section 345 as read with Section 349 of the Penal Code, alleges that the suspects fraudulently created KCSE certificates with their names, purporting them to be genuine. The second charge, uttering a false document, contrary to Section 353 of the Penal Code, states that on January 10, 2026, at the Administration Police College, Embakasi 'A' Campus, Nairobi, they knowingly and fraudulently presented these false documents. Despite a lawyer for one of the accused, Irene Wanja, requesting a more lenient bail due to her age and unemployment, presiding magistrate Paul Mutahi set the bail at KSH 200,000 cash or a KSH 500,000 bond for all 13 suspects. The pre-trial hearing for the case is scheduled for April 27 and 29, 2026.
