Published on August 7, 2020, a Bungoma County government employee was fined Sh200,000 for failing to turn up for interrogation over a forged document.
Jonathan Chenjeni, who works in the office of Governor Wycliffe Wangamati, was accused of delivering a fake document to the Bungoma County Assembly Clerk John Mosongo last month.
The document was a letter withdrawing an impeachment petition against Mr Wangamati that had been filed at the assembly.
The petitioners, who are Bungoma residents, want the governor kicked out over violation of law and abuse of office.
"The forged document indicated that Moses Lukoye, one of the petitioners, was withdrawing the petition. Mr Lukoye denied writing such a document," said Henry Okumu Majimbo, chairman of the assembly's public administration and ICT committee.
Meshack Museveni, a member of the committee, noted that Mr Chenjeni was previously investigated for another offence.
"If we as a House will not probe this matter with utmost care, it will set a bad precedence where other people will be bringing fake documents to the House in future," Mr Museveni said.
