In the continuing controversy surrounding Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja’s degree, Deputy President William Ruto has accused the government of conducting a witch-hunt.
Ruto told a political rally in Kisii that the state should cease politically attacking Sakaja, claiming that their candidate has all of the necessary paperwork to run for Nairobi Governor.
“Nataka niambie chama yetu ya zamani ya Jubilee. Wacheni mambo ya Johnson Sakaja. Johnson Sakaja ni Kijana was mtaa wa Nairobi. Sakaja amesoma na makaratasi take inajulikana.

He accused the deep state and the ruling Jubilee party of conspiring to keep the Senator out of the governorship contest in Nairobi.
“Wacheni Kukoraga mambo ya Sakaja. Watu wa deep state na system wanapiga simu kila mahali. Wamepiga simu mpaka State House Uganda wakitafuta njama ya kusimamisha sakaja asiwe governor wa Nairobi,” he said.
“Mimi nataka niwaambie Jubilee, tukutaneni kwa debe. Wachaneni na Sakaja. Johnson Sakaja ako na certificate ya Kutosha.”
“Kama kuna mtu ako na certificate ambayo haijulikani ni candidate wenu wa Rais wa Azimio. Kabla hamjatuambia maneno ya Sakaja, tuonesheni candidate wenu wa kiti cha Urais alisoma wapi na nani, na mwalimu wake alikua na nani. Wacheni utapeli.”
