The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has cleared Nyeri Deputy Governor Caroline Karugu of allegations that she does not have a degree.
EACC Central region director Charles Rasugu said the commission had carried out investigations into allegations that Karugu (right) falsified records and confirmed that she studied at Daystar University and graduated.
“The EACC proceeded to find information from Daystar University and confirmed that Ms Karugu enrolled, undertook and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the university,” he said.
Rasugu said the case has been closed based on the findings. During debate at the county assembly on her suitability to take up office, Karugu faced opposition from several MCAs who insisted she was unqualified.
