The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has warned the public against illegally generated certificates of good conduct.

According to the DCI, applicants who are unwilling to follow the due application process may have colluded with criminals to generate Police Clearance Certificates.

"It is suspected that applicants who are unwilling to follow the due application process may have worked in cohorts with rogue persons, thereby acquiring unprocedurally and illegally generated certificates," the DCI said.

The DCI said it has noted with a lot of concern the rampant cases of persons in possession of the bogus certificates.

The bogus certificates were illegally generated to respective email accounts from the DCI.

"The Director of Criminal Investigations has noted with a lot of concern the rampant cases of persons in possession of Police Clearance Certificates that were allegedly generated into their respective email accounts from the DCI," said DCI.

DCI reminded the public that all Police Clearance Certificates are directly generated into the Ecitizen platform and anything from elsewhere is forgery and illegal.

"It is hereby advised that all Police Clearance Certificates are directly generated into the Ecitizen platform, and as such, any application generated through an individual's email is outright forgery and not issued by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations," the DCI added.

The DCI further advised members of the public to apply for their Police Clearance Certificates through Ecitizen which is the only platform where processed certificates are uploaded for their access.

Any individual caught perpetrating the offence of forging the Police Clearance Certificates will be liable to prosecution.
