An administrative officer at the Kisii County Assembly has been charged by EACC for forging documents to gain employement.

David Geoffrey Ombiro is accused of forging his national ID  date of birth from 1967 to 1973 and later on forging his KRA pin, NHIF card and NSSF card to reflect the changes.

“The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on 9th September 2025 arrested David Geoffrey Ombiro, an Administrative Officer at the Kisii County Assembly, over allegations of using forged documents to secure employment.

EACC investigations established that Mr. Ombiro altered his birth certificate, changing his year of birth from 1967 to 1973, and used the falsified certificate to procure a National Identity Card reflecting the amended details.

He is also accused of forging a Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Personal Identification Number, a National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) card, and a National Social Security Fund (NSSF) card to match the falsified identity, which he subsequently submitted to the Kisii County Assembly as part of his employment records.” said EACC

Mr. Ombiro denied the charges and was released on Ksh 150,000 bond or a cash bail of Ksh 70,000.

“The suspect was processed at the EACC South Nyanza Regional Office and later taken to Kisii Central Police Station, where he spent the night in custody before being arraigned at the Kisii Anti-Corruption Court on Wednesday morning. He pleaded not guilty to all counts and was released on a bond of Kes150,000 with one surety of a similar amount, or alternatively, a cash bail of Kes70,000.

The case has been set for a pre-trial conference on 25 September 2025.” said EACC
