The Jubilee Party recently cleared Ms Agnes Kagure to vie for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat, that was left vacant following the impeachment of Governor Mike Sonko.
This is not the first time Kagure is attempting to ascend to the Nairobi leadership, despite her tainted image.
In 2018, Kagure was pushing to be appointed the Deputy Governor for Nairobi, following the resignation of the then Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe.
She however backed down after several scandals emerged, including an alleged fake degree from the Chiang Mai Rajabhat University, Thailand.
The University disowned Ms Kagure in a letter dated March 2018, claiming that her name did not appear on their graduation list of 2014 as she alleged.
“Kagure Kariuki is not a graduate of Bachelor of Arts degree from this university. According to our records, the aforementioned individual does not appear in our graduation list of 2014 as purported in your enquiry letter. Therefore if there is any academic certificate possesed by the individual it should be treated as fake and forgery,” the intotution management said.
The fake degree and other scandals were highlighted by several media houses, forcing her to move to court to gag the media. One of the affected news outlets was Radio Africa owner Newspaper The Star ,which was barred from further exposing Kagure through a court order dated April 13, 2018.
