In order to allow for investigations, the Commission for University Education (CUE) has retracted the initial letter in which it revoked Senator Johnson Sakaja’s degree.
In an attempt to get Prof. Chacha Nyaigoti-Chacha, the head of the Commission, to follow a court order suspending the CUE’s letter until further notice, Sakaja and his team had filed a contempt of court petition.
Sakaja requested the arrest of the CUE chief in court records as well.
“On the even date, June 17, 2022, at 7:00 p.m, the Contemnor herein one, Prof. Chacha Nyaigoti-Chacha, who is the Chairman of the Board of the Respondent, went live on all major National Televisions and other media fora wherein he issued a press statement whose contents were a mockery and contemptuous of the Court’s orders earlier served upon the Respondent.
“That later, on June 20, 2022, at around 5:00 p.m. the Contemnor again released a signed press statement to all media houses, wherein he ostensibly made reference to the Applicant, the orders of status quo ante, and the court process in general,” Sakaja said in a statement.
