The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has uncovered a major scandal involving university officials allegedly accepting bribes to graduate over 200 unqualified students.

The EACC Spokesperson noted that this corruption and unethical behavior have infiltrated Kenyan universities, threatening the integrity and standards of education.

Allegations suggest that students, instead of sitting for supplementary examinations, paid bribes to secure their graduation.

Mr. Ngumbi revealed that a search operation had been conducted at the residences of former Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Gaya Agong’ in Homa Bay, Kisumu, and Nairobi.

It was discovered that upon his retirement, he took with him original documents related to six major projects. Fortunately, the EACC managed to retrieve these documents, which are now crucial in finalizing the ongoing investigations.

The EACC Spokesperson made these remarks during the burial of Mama Joyce Oginde, mother of the EACC Chairperson Bishop David Oginde, in Ugenya constituency.

He further disclosed that 18 public universities, including Moi University and the University of Nairobi, are under investigation for theft of public funds, unethical conduct, and academic fraud.
