Daily News; Wednesday,June 18, 2008 @18:03
Police in Arusha region are holding a woman for allegedly providing fake
birth and academic certificates to 13 youth who applied for the recently
advertised employment opportunities in the police.
Speaking to journalists today, Arusha Regional Police Commander, Mr
Basilio Matei, said the suspect, Elizabeth Mcharu (39), was arrested after
the recruited youth named her as the person who allegedly prepared their
certificates.
He named the youth as Onesmo Fredrick (21), Seleman Jirion (20), Tadeus
Keto (25), Charles Komba (22), Isack Mgeni(20), Mustafa Abdul, alias Munga
(20), Dominick Emmanuel (20), Moses Siame (20), Deogratius Silvanus (20),
Baraka Simon (21) and Hamis Hasan (22).
Mr Matei said 11 suspects were in police custody, while two others managed
to escape and police were hunting for them. The RPC said one of the forged
certificates carried an invalid serial number S.0428/58 and Certificate
Number 148933 dated March 28, 1991 showing the candidate received his
secondary education from Mpechi Secondary School while it was not true.
The woman declared that she was innocent as some people had misused her
shop irresponsibly to prepare the fake papers. Police are still
interrogating her. Meanwhile, one of the passengers who were injured in an
accident that occurred along the Arusha-Moshi highway last week near
Nduruma River has died. The RPC named the deceased as Joseph Msuya (54).
