Narok senator Ledama Ole Kina's reaction after witnesses appearing before a Nairobi court unearthed inconsistencies in academic certificates belonging to Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, elicited mixed reactions amongst netizens and notable figures.
The lawmaker claimed that he was baffled after it was revealed that Sudi sat KCSE in 2006 and completed his diploma certificate in 2005, a year earlier than his secondary education completion.
"Alifanya KCSE 2006 alafu ako na Diploma ya 2005 Sasa hii si bangi! Sudi sema ukweli (He did KCSE in 2006 and posesses a Diploma certificate dated 2005. Sudi please be honest)," he posted.

Oscar Sudi's forgery case

She confirmed to the trial court that the index number 401006/081 of year 2006 in the forged KCSE certificate did not belong to Highway Secondary school but to Parklands Secondary School.
She also stated that the index number belonged to one Obaje Bob Onyango.
In a separate testimony about Sudi's tertiaty education credentials, the court was told that that the Kapseret MP’s Diploma certificate and admission number belong to two different people.
ohn Matsheshe, a former Head of Examinations at the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) told the Anti Corruption Court that the Kapsaret MP was never their student and that the Diploma certificate in question belongs to Elkanah K. Kimutai, a former student of the institute.
While testifying in the ongoing hearing of the forgery case, he further revealed that an admission number captured in a copy of the certificate presented to the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission belonged to a woman who was a student at the institution in 2005.
