Kakamega’s senator Cleophas Malala has dismissed reports he has a fake university degree.
In an interview with Nyota TV, the vocal politician claims to have commenced his degree in 2006-2007 and graduated in 2010-2011.
He also admits to formally collecting the degree from the Nairobi based institution in 2019.
Malala also clarified he was intially admitted to study law at the Moi University in Eldoret but was later transferred to Nairobi by his dad who thought his son was distracted by the ‘very many discos in Eldoret’.
“In 2004 I was at Moi University. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) admitted me as a law student. My father did not like my company in the university hence he transferred me to USIU where my siblings were studying at.”
Malala’s political opponents, led by Kakamega mogul Cleophas Shimanyula, have in recent times claim he failed in his High school and exams and thus doesn’t qualify to be elected governor.
