A video of Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala struggling to explain how he acquired his University degree
and the year of graduation has stirred a storm online.
Speaking to Nyota TV, Malala said that he is a United States International University (USIU)
graduate.
“I graduated in 2019 after joining between 2006 and 2007 and completed and graduated in
2011. But my degree I picked it in 2019,” said the Amani National Congress (ANC) gubernatorial candidate for the Kakamega gubernatorial seat.
“I actually cannot remember when I graduated but what I remember that it was attended by all
my clan members. In fact during my graduation party is when I declared to vie for the MCA
seat in 2013,” Malala said.

According to reports, Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala may be barred from running for governor of Kakamega due to a lack of required qualifications, the leader has been obliged to disclose copies of his educational credentials on social media.
The senator posted his KCSE and University certificates in an attempt to silence propagandists and reassure his supporters of his candidacy.
At the same time, he revealed that the Commission for University Education had awarded the papers a clean bill of health.
According to him, the commission has now instructed the IEBC to clear him to run.
“The Commission for University Education (CUE) has duly certified and recognized my academic credentials and henceforth advised the IEBC to clear me to contest in the August 2022 gubernatorial election, Kakamega county,” the Senator wrote on Facebook.
“Those who cherish propaganda, feel ashamed. Attached are the true copies of my academic accolades.”

The senator is seeking the Governor’s seat on an ANC party ticket.
He has earned the support of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance as there is no other candidate from all parties in the coalition apart from him.
Malala is facing competition from ODM’s Fernandes Barasa who has now teamed up with Lugari MP Ayub Savula to dwarf his ambitions.
