How to end endemic fake papers vice in Kenya
Abstract
Verification of academic and professional papers needs to be simplified. For example, the government could implement policies requiring every university in Kenya to publish an annual list of graduates on their websites from their inception. This would enable employers to download graduation booklets easily and verify the claims of Kenyan job seekers. Similarly, bodies responsible for professional certifications should annually list their qualified individuals online. This approach will eliminate the need for employers to send out verification letters, allowing them to confirm the legitimacy of degrees and professional papers directly from their offices.
