The Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) has dismissed over 20 staff members for possessing fake academic credentials. 

Aimed at restoring integrity and enhancing operations within Kenya’s public service sector, these individuals were exposed during an internal audit mandated by the government. 

The Postal Corporation of Kenya sent the questionable academic documents to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) and the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) for verification, which confirmed the fraudulent nature of the qualifications.

This action is not isolated to the PCK alone as the Public Service Commission (PSC) earlier reported that across various ministries and notable parastatals, more than 2,000 public servants have been hired using fake certificates. The disclosure has led to a nationwide call for transparency and accountability in the hiring processes of public institutions.

The PCK, which has been facing financial difficulties, with accumulated losses of $45.9 million over the past decade, views this action as a necessary step towards a much-needed restructuring plan. 

The corporation is set to lay off over 500 workers as it shifts its focus to new ventures such as e-commerce and cargo clearance, in hopes of reviving its fortunes.

The layoffs are part of a thorough turnaround strategy that includes investing in technology and diversifying services to meet the changing demands of the digital age. 

The PCK has been awarded contracts for last-mile delivery of medical supplies and passports, indicating a pivot towards logistics and delivery services, which are seen as more profitable in the current economic climate.

The issue of fake academic credentials is of huge concern in Kenya, where the pressure to secure employment often leads individuals to resort to dishonest means. 

The government’s directive to verify qualifications is a step towards ensuring that only qualified individuals hold public office, which is important for the effective functioning of state corporations.

The PCK’s decision to address the issue will help other state-owned enterprises facing similar challenges to tackle the immediate problem of unqualified staff and also send a strong message about the importance of integrity in the public sector.
