Education sector vulnerable to fraudulent employees

On Tuesday, September 16, Peter Mawae, a Kenyan lecturer at Mutara Polytechnic was summoned to the Nyagatare police station. He told his colleagues he would promptly be back to resume his duties. But little did he know the visit would mark the end of his career in Rwanda. Mawae had been under investigation for months, following a tip-off from his colleagues that he falsely claimed to have acquired a Masters Degree in French from Kenyatta University, Kenya, the he used to secure a job at the university as a communication skills lecturer.
