Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that University of Nairobi has confirmed that Johnson Sakaja is still a student of its citadel but hasn’t completed his Actuarial Science degree. (Read More Here).
The Commission for University Education (CUE) told Sunday Nation that the senator presented a degree from a Ugandan university for regularisation, which he intended to use for clearance for the race, after a number of documents were leaked.
The University of Nairobi (UoN), where the senator has often claimed he graduated with a degree in actuarial science, told Sunday Nation that the senator is still a student and has not completed the course.
UoN communications director John Orindi said he was admitted to the university on a module two programme in 2003.
“It is true Sakaja was admitted to the university and was pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science, studied from first year up to fourth year, but is yet to graduate,” said Mr Orindi.
“The university earlier issued a statement… and was clear that the person in question did not complete his studies.”
The university, in a verification letter to the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) dated May 31 last year, said Mr Sakaja’s transcripts were incomplete.
“…they have not been signed by the university,” the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs, Prof Julius Ogeng’o, replied to the DCI, which is carrying out its own investigation.
Mr Sakaja has in a number of past media interviews said he studied actuarial science at the University of Nairobi from 2002 to 2007.
More questions were also raised after a video surfaced online of Sakaja claiming that he had never studied outside the country. The university claims he attended an online programme.
“I have never left Kenya in terms of education,” he stated during a past interview.
The university is owned by a Ugandan politician who is an associate of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party led by President Yoweri Museveni.
