An anti-corruption court on Thursday heard that Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi did not sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams at Highway Secondary School.
Making the confession in court, the school’s former principal Patrick Maritim said that the lawmaker did not register nor sit for the test in 2006.
The former principal said that he had been asked earlier by a KNEC official to confirm whether Sudi’s name was among those of the school’s KCSE candidates in 2006.
“KCSE certificate is normally obtained from KNEC. The student will then come and sign that it has been collected. And from the records, it does not show Sudi sat for his KCSE at highway secondary school,” Maritim told Magistrate Felix Kombo.

The vocal legislator is accused of forging his KCSE certificate, which he claimed he received from Highway Secondary School.
He is also accused of forging a diploma certificate in business management that he claimed to have received from the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM).
The lawmaker did not appear in court on Thursday, with his lawyer telling the court that he was ailing.
Sudi claimed earlier that he had flown to Turkey to receive treatment, but then on Wednesday it was reported that he was in Eldoret.
Presidential hopeful Prof. George Wajackoyah was leading Sudi’s legal team.
