The fake academic documents including Bachelor Degrees, Masters and PhDs were mainly brought from the neighboring Uganda and Kenya, according to government spokesman, Michael Makuei Lueth.
In Uganda, 126 academic documents were confirmed in 2019 and 276 between 2015-2018 which include 47 Bachelors, 28 Diplomas, 11 Certificates, and 40 Ugandan Certificates of Education.
In Sudan, 24 Secondary School Certificates were confirmed forged.
In South Sudan, 29 Secondary School Certificates and 232 Primary School Certificates were confirmed forged.
In Kenya, 402 Certificates were confirmed including Bachelor Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates and 16 other documents including 2 Certificates of Secondary Education, 1 primary Certificate, 13 bachelors, and Diplomas.
Speaking to reporters after the cabinet meeting on Friday, Information Minister, Makuei said the figure shows that there are a lot of forged academic documents being used mostly by government employees in the country.
“The Cabinets were satisfied with the report and adopted that all those who are in possession of forged documents; their names should be released officially as a list of shame,” Minister Lueth told reporters in Juba on Friday.
He said fraudulent qualifications posed a grave danger to the credibility of the country’s education system.
“If you are an honest person, you are not supposed to acquire fake document and use it for employment only,” he said.
“I fact, in the course of doing that, you are harming the government and your own people and the country as well because you will be given an assignment in which you will know performance because you have done a study and not qualified it,” he added.
“Gov’t prepared to publish ‘list of shame’ for holders of fake academic documents – Makuei”
Publish the names and South Sudanese people would walk their head high that they are not being bullied by low lives who are not working in their own best interests and their country.
Let their names be published & demonstrates their shame,they had destructed this country to maximum that couldn’t be readjusted in simple equation. They goes to Juba today and comes back tomorrow with vehicles and alot of money buying 100s of cattle while with no good education background even that little language’s pieces for expression to get job from an employer.That’s why they are not feld disgrace by corruption those forgers,shame on them with that rotten bellies and blanck minded they uses to dumpped the young nation in the mud.
To be honest I did primary leaving exams but due to the love of playing soccer at a Refugees camp. I failed and I didn’t want to repeat class 8 at kadugli primary school with my late sister Monica, Our uncle Dominic Manut Majok and Simon Mou Thiik were my witness. The reason that lead to failure was concentrateting on sports than paying attention at class and another obstacle was in secondary school where I obtained D+. To be honest I use to attend classes and I did my best
