The United Democratic Alliance Nairobi gubernatorial candidate Johnson Sakaja insists that he graduated from a Ugandan Institution, Team University.
In replying affidavit to a petition filed before the IEBC Dispute Resolution Committee Sakaja provided a copy of the graduation booklet that bore his name.
According to Sakaja, the complainant fraudulently omitted relevant pages of the graduation booklet that bears his graduation credential.
In the booklet filed by the former TNA chairman, he was listed as number 499 on page 28, among those who graduated in 2016.
However, in a new twist, reports have emerged indicating the UDA politician might have forged a graduation booklet by inserting his name.
So according to the petitioner, Dennis Wahome Gakuu’s replying affidavit, Sakaja is not among the 6 graduands on the graduation booklet dated 26 October 2016.
“That an examination of the Team University graduation booklet dated October 21, 2016, on page 28, shows that only the following six students graduated with the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Management…that the 1st respondent’s name is not one of the listed six awardees,” Gakuu said in his affidavit.
A perusal of the original graduation booklet indicates that student number 499 was Nantongo Aidah who pursuing a Bachelor of Accounting and Finance.
According to Gakuu’s affidavit, the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Management (External) that Sakaja purports to be done doesn’t exist at the institution.
The petition reveals that the Institution stopped offering the course in 2015, one year before Sakaja’s graduation year.
Could have Sakaja reached out to the River Road experts in his pursuit of clearance by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
