After every regime change in Kenya, several elected leaders are taken to court and charged with several counts of forging academic certificates.

All the charged politicians have one thing in common. They are arrested after falling out with the government and turning into harsh critics.   Their incessant  caustic remarks rub the administrations the wrong way. In reiteration, the politicians are arrested and charged in connection with forging and presenting fake academic papers and are now kept busy in court to battle for their political lifeline.

The prosecution of Juja MP George Koimburi earlier this week over a forgery he is purported to have orchestrated more than 30 years ago revived memories of the politicians who have found themselves in similar predicaments in the past.
