The menace of fake certificates is a global challenge. The National Student Clearing house, a US organization that offers a certificate verification service, reports that prevalence of falsified academic credentials is a serious, prevalent and growing problem.

In 2015 the New York Times reported on a billion-dollar industry consisting of 3,300 “diploma mills”. These were fake universities and colleges that sold certificates for all levels of certification, worldwide. We also have in the world many universities and colleges awarding certificates that they have no accreditation or mandate to do so.

In Kenya, the government, through the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA),launched a new system for reporting cases of fake certificates as the country-wide crackdown on the forgeries continues.

KNQA is a government body tasked with harmonizing education, training, assessment, and quality assurance of all qualifications awarded in the country.

The agency’s Director-General Dr. Juma Mukhwana disclosed that one in every three Kenyans holds a fake academic document.
In keeping with the plan to weed out holders of fake academic certificates and prosecute them, the government body unveiled the anonymous reporting portal referred to as Report Cheti Mwitu.

In the portal accessed via rev.knqa.go.ke/cheti-mwitu, one can report fake, falsified, and fraudulent certificates in Kenya.

How to Validate Authenticity of Educational Certificate (KNEC)
