Twenty-nine employees at the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) found to have been employed using forged academic certificates have been sent home.
Investigations established that they used the forged documents to secure employment in the parastatal. The PCK’s Postal Chief Executive Officer John Tonui said the 29, among the middle level and junior staff, were sacked last month upon discovery they used forged documents.
Tonui said they were sent packing following the directive by the Public Service Commission (PSC) after it directed the state based organisations to terminate the services of any officer found to have used forged certificates to secure employment.
The sacking was affected as PCK planned to retrench workers as part of a cost-cutting drive amid dwindled revenues.
