Malawi Postal Corporation (MPC) employee is in police custody for allegedly being found in possession of a forged Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) certificate.
Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) Public Relations Officer Simeon Maganga has confirmed of the development in a short message posted on the board’s Facebook Page.
The employee identified as Gibson Mgadamika was together arrested with his accomplice Samson Mweso who is suspected to have produced the said certificate.
Mgadamika’s arrest follows an order by MANEB asking companies to send certificate of their employees for vetting.
“It was through such process when we discovered that details on Mgadamika’s copy of certificate were not real. We then instituted investigations,” he said.
Mgadamika is said to have confessed during police interrogation that the MSCE certificate in his possession was forged.
The two will appear in court soon to answer charges of altering a false document contrary to Section 360 as read with Section 356 of the Penal Code.
Meanwhile police have confiscated a computer belonging to Mweso who operate a Photocopying Bureau at Lumbadzi Trading Centre.
