Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja has broken silence over the letter by the Commission for University Education revoking his Team University degree.
In a statement released today, the senator claimed it was part of desperate attempts by President Uhuru Kenyatta and the government to intimidate and frustrate him.
According to Sakaja, he has met all the required academic qualifications and will be on the ballot
“I will be on the Ballot on 9th Aug 2022. We will not be cowed by the threats, coercion and intimidation by President Uhuru Kenyatta and the State. The purported revocation by CUE is null and void for the reasons below:
“To President Kenyatta, I say: Let the people decide. Not even the threats to arrest me will dim our resolve to serve the people of Nairobi. The people of Nairobi have resoundingly rejected your project and are looking forward to electing their own,” Sakaja said.
“I remain committed and confident that a new dawn for our capital is beckoning, a city of order and dignity; hope and opportunity for all. We shall not be cowed. We will prevail.”
