Controversial Roots Party presidential flag bearer George Wajackoyah is touted to be the most learned among the four presidential candidates.
According to his social media pages, the ‘bangi ni dawa’ presidential candidate has claimed to be having 17 degree certificates from different institutions.
But being a season of controversy after controversy, it is becoming hard to ascertain the validity of the academic credentials of politicians eying elective positions in the August 9 election.
On Friday, July 1, exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna challenged the Roots Party presidential flag bearer to prove the authenticity of his professorship.
According to Miguna, Wajackoyah’s reasoning and public utterances do not conform to that of someone who studied abroad challenging him to explain the inconsistencies.
“You claim to have 26 university degrees, mostly from the UK, and the majority of which are supposed to be “law degrees,” yet a casual review of your statements, utterances, and writing in English discloses syntax that is not related to the English Language. Please explain,” Miguna posed on Twitter.
The exiled barrister further challenged Wajackoyah to provide evidence on how he acquired his professorship adding that he doubts the credibility of the institutions that Wajackoyah claims to have undergone.
“You claim to be a “university professor” and many of us would wish to congratulate you fervently for such glorious academic achievement but only IF you could be so kind as to give us credible evidence that your professorship was vested on you by a recognized university,” Miguna added.
