Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has blamed President Kenyatta for his woes, claiming that he is out to frustrate his bid for Nairobi governor.
Sakaja, the UDA party candidate for Nairobi governor, claims that Kenyatta coerced the Commission for University Education (CUE) to revoke the recognition of his Bachelor of Science in Management degree from Team University in Uganda.
“The purported revocation of my credentials by the Commission for University Education (CUE) chairman is null and void, and politically instigated. The chairman, Prof Chacha Nyaigotti Chacha, has been coerced and intimidated by President Uhuru Kenyatta to illegally revoke recognition of accreditation that has been properly issued,” Sakaja said in a statement on Wednesday.
“I presented my qualifications to the CUE for recognition. The commission conducted due diligence by first writing to their counterpart in Uganda, National Council for Higher Education, which in turn wrote to the university. The commission confirmed the authenticity of the qualification from Team University through the National Council for Higher Education and thus recognized my qualifications.”
He alleged that President Kenyatta and the entire State machinery have gone on an intimidation spree against institutions locally and in Uganda to revoke the recognition of his qualifications in a bid to stop him from being the governor of Nairobi.
“They have sent officials from the Kenyan High Commission in Uganda to intimidate Team University staff as well as that country’s National Council for Higher Education. The university has remained firm and refused to be intimidated.”
“The desperate attempts by President Kenyatta and the so-called Deep State will fall on the sword of justice,” he added.
The senator maintained that he has the requisite qualifications to vie for the position of governor of Nairobi and will be on the ballot on August 9th.
“To President Kenyatta I say: Let the people decide. Not even the threats to arrest me will dim our resolve to serve the people of Nairobi. The people of Nairobi have resoundingly rejected your project and are looking forward to electing their own. I remain committed and confident that a new dawn for our capital is beckoning, a city of order and dignity; hope and opportunity for all. We shall not be cowed. We will prevail,” he concluded.

Lie down flat like an envelope who would have thought degree certificates were so valuable in Kenya were 60 % of graduates are still hunting for jobs.Iwe funzo to those yet to graduate you need new friends politicians around your age .Come election time sell them your degree certificates before they present their nomination papers to IEBC .When they are eating in Statehouse after getting in blackmail them sure way to get paid every month
Whether he blame uhuru or…
Whether he blame uhuru or not the the whole saga stink. Even the name itself sounds fake. Team university
Sakaja is his own enemy in…
Sakaja is his own enemy in the whole saga because he has not shown how he got the degree from Team University. Blaming Uhuru does not make Sakaja’s purported degree legitimate. He must be properly investigated to find out the truth behind his education. How come he has not produced the original certificate of the degree he is talking about?
Ridiculous that you have to…
Ridiculous that you have to prove to the crowds that you have a degree! In this day and age. On the other hand, how do you even explain a move from The UON (actuarial science) management to some weird college in Uganda? Dude…
Everything Sakaja is saying…
Everything Sakaja is saying about his degrees is pure lies. Stop treating Kenyans to your drama Sakaja. Don’t you have original copies if your degrees from Team and NRV universities that you can easily post here to solve this small issue.
I can post nine here within seconds. Stop fooling Kenyans Sakaja because by the looks of it you do not have any degrees.
Mr. Sakaja what part is the…
Mr. Sakaja what part is the president playing in you not attending a university. I hope you did not want him to attend college on your behalf. Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city and an academic dwarfs cannot be able to manage it. Education plays a big role in your perception, and how to deal with situation that affect population and economy. Reflect on Mr. Sonko’s mess. A leader who thought being a thug might help run the city. Nairobi city is the face of the republic of Kenya.
Tell this boy called Sakaja…
Tell this boy called Sakaja that Uhuru did not hold him from holding a pen and a book to study like real men do. I am sick a tired of these political losers who were build by Uhuru and now they think they are the big boys in town. Who are you Sakaja? I will give you a Mwiko slap in your bearded face! Stop it; will you??
Sakaja stop following Ruto blindly because he will mislead you like he has done to many. That’s why Kenyans will not vote for Ruto. And you can now see how Rigathi is getting called a Mwizi in Kiambu because he is now associating with a Ruto the big Mwizi. Does any body question what Ruto has stolen?
Actually I have been told Rigathi is as bad as Ruto in stealing if not worse. My advise to you Sakaja is to stop fighting for a degree you know you don’t have, go back to school and get a degree and then pursue the desires of your heart.
Uhuru made you Sakaja! He…
Uhuru made you Sakaja! He does not have to do much to put you back to the sand. You can talk all you want but you will be the biggest casualty of your blunders.
Amen to that! Mugi ni mutare…
Amen to that! Mugi ni mutare! The best advise you can give this boy Sakaja.
The County of Nairobi is the…
The County of Nairobi is the brains & basket of the country economy, Estimated 130 Millions revenue is collected daily..Kuna pesa mingi Nai.??.. The Cronies na cartels(Handshakes)try by all mean kuwake their “project guy” kwa mlango??..so thy can get access to monies ??? because thy know their underground projects will be over in few months!!..
People, let’s look at the…
People, let’s look at the big picture… I would have more respect for Sakaja if he came out and expressed remorse,and asked for forgiveness for using a fake certificate,than insisting that the fake certificate is the real Macoy…
That kind of man cannot be trusted to run for political office. We are talking of integrity here,and honesty is a grand part of integrity.
Let’s give amnesty to those who are in the same predicament, so long as they come forward before august elections, confess their “sins”, pay restitution and promise to complete their education without 4 years or go to jail for four years.And if you try to out smart the system by toughening it out, hoping that you would not be caught, you are in double jeopardy…
