The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested and arraigned Liza Amara Anyoso, a former Registry Clerk at the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), for allegedly using a forged academic certificate to secure employment.
According to a statement by the Commission, Anyoso was arrested on October 8, 2025, after investigations revealed that she used a falsified Bachelor of Commerce degree certificate purporting to be from the University of Nairobi.
The forged document allegedly enabled her to obtain employment at NCWSC, where she unlawfully earned Sh7.8 million in salaries.
Following the probe, EACC forwarded the file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved charges of forgery, uttering a false document, and deceiving a principal under the Penal Code and the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003.
Anyoso was processed at the Integrity Center Police Station before being arraigned before the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court.
She pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
The court granted her a cash bail of Sh80,000 or an alternative bond of Sh1 million with one surety of a similar amount.
The case is scheduled for mention on October 23, 2025.
Anyoso’s arrest followed that of Michael Kilonzo Mualuko, also a staff of the NCWSC.
Mualuko was arrested following investigations into allegations of using a forged KCSE certificate to secure employment at the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC).
The Commission received an allegation that he had presented a forged KCSE certificate purportedly issued by Bishop Ndingi High School.
Investigations conducted by the EACC established that the document was falsified and had been used to gain employment at NCWSC.
EACC has reaffirmed its commitment to combating fraud and protecting integrity in the public service.
The anti-graft has also sent a warning that anyone found falsifying academic or professional credentials to secure employment will face the full force of the law.
EACC has intensified investigations into various cases of malpractice among public office holders including elected leaders.
