According to the commission, Lukaa Musamali Mukimi presented a forged Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies (Public Administration) certificate, purportedly issued by Moi University, to secure a promotion at IEBC.
Following investigations by EACC, it was established that the academic document was falsified and that the suspect knowingly presented it as genuine.
The commission forwarded the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved the recommendation to institute criminal proceedings against the suspect.
Mukimi was arrested on November 19, 2025, and arraigned in court a day later on charges of forgery contrary to the Penal Code and the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, No. 3 of 2003.
Appearing before the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court, Mukimi denied all charges and was released on a cash bail of Ksh.200,000 or an alternative bond of Ksh.500,000 with one surety of a similar amount.
The case is scheduled for mention on December 4, 2025.
