Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala shared copies of his education papers on social media, after reports claiming he may be locked out of the Kakamega Governor race due to lack of requisite education spread.
In a bid to clear the air, the Kakamega senator posted his KCSE and University certificates and at the same time stated that the papers had been given a clean bill of health by the Commission for University Education. He further mentioned to his supporters that the commission has directed the IEBC to clear him to contest in the forthcoming August 9, general elections.
“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,” “Those who cherish propaganda, feel ashamed. Attached are the true copies of my academic accolades.” Senator Malala wrote on Facebook.
Moreover, Cleophas Malala is contesting for the Kakamega Governor’s seat on an ANC party ticket. He also has the support of Kenya Kwanza Alliance because there is no other aspirant from all parties in the coalition vying for that particular post apart from him.
However, he is facing competition from ODM’s Fernandes Barasa.
