The Commission for University Education (CUE) has summoned embattled Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja to provide proof for his degree which he claims to have acquired from Team University in Uganda.
Prof Nyaigotti said that the commission received complaints challenging the authenticity of Mr Sakaja’s degree despite having cleared him a week ago.
“The commission received complaints from members of the public and civil society casting doubts on the authenticity of the degree certificate submitted to CUE by Hon. Sakaja. The gravity of the matters raised, made the Commission to revoke its decision to recognize the degree qualification in Kenya pending further investigations in liaison with other relevant investigative agencies,” he said.
Among material evidence the commissions have asked Mr Sakaja to provide to back his academic qualifications include admission letter, student ID, transcripts, receipts of tuition fees paid to Teams University, graduation photos and list of lecturers who taught him at the Uganda- based university.
“Further, the Commission has invited Hon. Sakaja to attend a meeting on Monday, 20th June 2022 at 10.00 a.m. in order to provide further information that can aid in the investigations,” the CUE boss said.
The commission chair further added that his commission will blacklist any university involved in the issuance of fake degrees, fighting off claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta is interfering with their duties as claimed by Mr. Sakaja.
