Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant on UDA ticket Johnson Sakaja is still battling his bid which hangs in the balance. Wednesday was filled with drama after the Commission for University Education revoked Sakaja’s Ugandan degree.
“Consequently, following the CUE recognition procedures, we hereby revoke the recognition of your degree from the aforementioned university,” CUE chairman Chacha Nyaigoti Chacha said.
Sakaja bemoaned the move in which he said was a witchhunt from his opponents mentioning President Uhuru Kenyatta as the mastermind of his woes.
“Even before I was chairman of TNA, I did everything in my ability for his career but now he is doing everything in his ability to finish mine,” Sakaja pointed out.
