A man who has been working as a pilot for the last eight years has been charged for forging his academic papers. Ahmad Nassir Dirie Olow was charged with making a false KCSE certificate for the 2007 national exam and passing it as being from the Kenya National Examination Council.
According to the police report, Olow presented the false document to Lt. Col. Amin Ali, the head of training at Ninety Nines Flying School in Wilson Airport on July 30, 2011.
The court heard that Olow also uttered the certificate to Sergeant Cyrus Ikade on January 6, 2021, at the Anti-Terrorist Police Unit headquarters at Upper Hill, Nairobi.

The forged KCSE certificate showed that he got a strong B+ (Plus), while in reality he never got that grade. After making the forgery, he enrolled to a Kenyan aviation college, on the strength of the KCSE certificate and upon graduation, he received a certificate to show that he was qualified to fly a plane. Over the past eight years, Olow has been practicing this trade.

Ahmad Nassir Dirie Olow is not the first Kenyan to hit the headlines for successfully running a scientific career for which he wasn’t fully qualified. In 2016, Ronald Kiprotich Melly worked as a fake doctor at the Kapsabet County Referral Hospital before he was transferred to head Meteitei Sub-County hospital. He performed eight successful surgeries.

Does it really negate his skills, has he downed a plane? I find some of these things frivolous. If someone can do what they are saying they do, and they can do it well, what’s the problem? What does it matter is they didn’t pass kcse, maybe they were going through a had time at the time etc…

How do you explain him passing the flying school exams and doing his job pretty well for 8 years unless the KCSE is not fit for purpose?

Exactly!

I agree. Some people are exceptionally good at something but lack of papers hold them back.

Majuu in Alaska, kids learn to fly even before they learn to drive. Huku Kenya ndio they prioritize having papers than even those that invented education.

You know some bitter mother-swiver snitched on him
