Politicians with no
genuine degree told to go back to school
POLITICIANS across the country without genuine degree
certificates have been told to go back to school and obtain such a document.
Former President of East African Law Society Lawyer James
Aggrey Mwamu says it is quite embarrassing that some politicians who have been
serving in various political positions and earning much money could not go back
to school genuine degree certificate that is a requirement for clearance by the
Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission{IEBC} when contesting some
political positions.
Addressing the press in Kisumu after he awarded 16 best KCSE
Students 2021 at a private school known as Oasis of Hope Secondary school in
Kisumu East through Mwalimu James Japheth Mwamu Foundation, Mwamu says getting
a genuine degree is very vital when one wants to contest some political
positions during electioneering period.
Mwamu says some politicians who have been engaging in a ping
pong kind of game on the issue the Government wanting them to authenticate
their degrees should never do so.
“Right now we have some politicians who are trying to
purchase fake degree certificates so that they seek clearance from IEBC. We are
asking Kenyans to avoid such kind of means to obtain fake certificates,” he
says
He adds that such politicians should surely go back to class
room and be taught by lecturers to obtain genuine degree certificates.
Mwamu’s sentiments comes barely a few days after the
Commission on University Education revoked the degree certificate of the UDA
Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Johnson Sakaja on suspicion that it was allegedly
obtained fraudulently.
IEBC had earlier cleared Sakaja to run as a gubernatorial
candidate in Nairobi on UDA Ticket.
Sajaka has since moved to court to challenge the decision of
the Commission on University Education.
