UDA questions Raila’s degree as it responds to Sakaja’s predicament
UDA questions Raila’s degree as it responds to the predicament facing Nairobi gubernatorial candidate, Johnston Sakaja.
UDA Secretary-General, Veronica Maina has questioned the legitimacy of academic papers presented by Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, to IEBC.
Veronica Maina was speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Tuesday, June 14, where she addressed the issue of Sakaja over his academic qualifications.
Maina stated that the party was waiting for investigative agencies and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to make a determination on the matter before the party forges a way forward.
Sakaja who is the incumbent Nairobi senator has been under public scrutiny after a complaint was filed against him at the IEBC tribunal for allegedly not having the required educational qualifications.
He maintains that he has a Bachelor of Science in Management degree from Team University in Uganda.

Ruto-led UDA now says that the spotlight on politicians’ academic papers should be cast on every aspirant and not just Sakaja.
UDA Secretary-General Veronica Maina, claimed their arch-rival in the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, Raila Odinga, has also raised questions about his academic papers’ legitimacy.
“Questions have also been asked about the credibility of presidential candidates’ qualifications. You have seen a lot of headlines questioning the university that our biggest opponent, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, qualified from,” she said.
“It is a very big question which needs to be looked at, not through the lens of just one candidate, but a wider public question,” she added.
