Tarda boss changed birth date to work for five more years

A parastatal chief who ought to have retired one year before the government raised the retirement age for public servants to 60 years in 2008 fraudulently altered his identity card to remain in employment.

The Tana and Athi River Development Authority (Tarda) acting managing director Steven Ruimuku changed his name from the one on his national identity card as captured by the National Registration Bureau to a different one that matches with his passport, No. A1593455, acquired on February 2, 2011.
