Ruto’s UDA should apologise to Nairobians for endorsing Sakaja despite questionable academic qualifications

Education analyst Janet Ouko on Monday argued that Nairobi’s management has been lamentable under Governor Johnson Sakaja’s rule, noting that it has attracted questions on his proficiency.
She also pointed out that Sakaja, despite having doubtful academic qualifications, was still granted a green light by the UDA party to contest and city dwellers are now bearing the brunt of that decision.
“It is in the public domain that the Governor of Nairobi had issues with the academic certificates. The role of that administration is clearing people to come out and apologise to Nairobians,” said Ouko speaking to Citizen TV on Monday.
“We are expecting UDA to take responsibility for the kind of leadership they have ensured sits at City Hall. If they feel that this governor is not articulating the UDA manifesto as it’s supposed to be done then there is something we expect them to do.”
This comes on the backdrop of the Nairobi City County experiencing a paralysed service delivery and poor infrastructures as recently most parts of the city have been submerged for days following heavy rains.
On March 19, a section of Nairobi County leaders slammed Sakaja accusing his administration of being the “most incompetent and morally degenerate” county government.
Led by Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie, the leaders accused Sakaja’s administration of contributing to Nairobi County’s deteriorating state.

Sakaja’s academic qualification was taken to court in the run-up to the 2022 General Election on accusations that his certificates were fake.
The High Court however ruled that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had no error in clearing Sakaja to vie for the gubernatorial seat, dismissing the complaint based on lack of proof.
Sakaja had submitted a Bachelor of Science in Management (External) degree from Uganda’s Team University which was revoked by the Commission for University Education (CUE).
During investigations, CUE noted that Team University is only accredited to offer a Bachelor of Science in Management and not a Bachelor of Science in Management (External); which are two separate courses.
CUE added that the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in Uganda indicated that Team University had confirmed that Sakaja had enrolled for a Bachelor of Science in Management and not a Bachelor of Science in Management (External).
