Sakaja’s degree probe has taken a new twist after Team University Uganda, the institution that Sakaja claimed to have gotten his degree proceeded to court to stop the government from investigating the latter’s degree award.
The University which is based in Uganda filed two cases that outlined their grievances in a bid to stop the investigations. Johnson Sakaja, the UDA gubernatorial aspirant in Nairobi is facing allegation charges of forging his degree to bribe his way for clearance by IEBC.
Sakaja also defended himself in court after IEBC led by Wafula Chebukati declined to cut him off from the race. The move came after several parties joined hands and questioned the legality of his degree University certificate. CUE recently revoked the recognition that was issued earlier in association with the degree that Sakaja was awarded so as to run for Governor in Nairobi.
However, officials aligned to Kenya Kwanza have continously argued that Sakaja’s degree saga has been politicised to prevent him from running for the seat. Team University has issued a request to the High Court to end the investigations of Sakaja’s degree. The move made by Team University will ensure that further investigations are stopped to give room for Sakaja to proceed with his campaigns, if at all the court approves. A section of the statement read, “A temporary injunction be issued restraining the respondent from investigating, inquiring into or in any other way interfering with the qualifications awarded to the applicant.”
The politician has continously stated that he will be on the ballot. He argued that his degree case has been politicised to silence him and create a bad image of his name. However, Sakaja maintains that he has a valid degree. In previous interviews, the Nairobi senator has sold his agenda for the Nairobians, adding that he will be the light of change for the county.
