Kenyan Candidate on spot light over controversial Uganda degree award.

A copy of Teams University's graduation book accessed by New Vision indicates that Sakaja was not one of its students that graduated in 2016

Kenya Independent Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is probing Nairobi Senator, Johnson Sakaja, who is one of the aspirants for the gubernatorial position over a controversial degree he acquired from a private Ugandan university and used for clearance. ;


The move comes in the wake of four petitions that seek to bar Sakaja from the city’s race in the general elections due to be conducted on August 9, 2022.


At the centre of the allegations is Team University, a private university licensed by the National Council for Higher Education (NHCE) located in Mengo, Rubaga Division. ;


The investigations come in the wake of inconsistencies over what Sakaja said in the past about the institution he attended for his undergraduate course. ;


In a video uploaded on social media on September 22, 2020, Sakaja said he had never pursued education out of the country. ;


But nearly two years after the Interview, Sakaja was cleared to vie for the Nairobi governor seat with a degree certificate from a Ugandan institution, Team University, from which indicated that he graduated in 2016. It is this that has prompted the petition.


A copy of Teams University's graduation book accessed by New Vision indicates that Sakaja was not one of its students that graduated in 2016. ;
