Johnson Sakaja, one of Deputy President William Ruto’s closest associates, is accused of having dodgy academic papers that he may have used to get clearance from the IEBC.
Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential flag bearer, Raila Odinga’s 2022 campaign spokesperson, Makau Mutua, shared his thoughts on the situation surrounding Sakaja’s degree papers, sensationally claiming that leaders with problematic papers are solely affiliated with DP Ruto.
“How come almost all of the candidates at UDA have fraudulent academic papers or no university degree at all?” If you know why William Ruto has gathered and attracted so many conmen and frauds, please educate me.” On Sunday, Makau Mutua remarked. In the run-up to the 2022 August elections, a list of William Ruto’s associates has been accused of possessing bogus academic papers.
