UDA Secretary-General Veronica Maina now says that questions have been asked about the degree of Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga. 

Speaking during an interview on Tuesday on Citizen TV, Maina mentioned that there's been a question about the credibility of the institution Odinga graduated from. 

"Questions have also been asked about the credibility of presidential candidates’ qualifications. You have seen a lot of headlines questioning the university that our biggest opponent, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, qualified from.

"It is a very big question that needs to be looked at, not through the lens of just one candidate, but a wider public question of what credentials should be used," she stated.

The UDA secretary-general also commented on the ongoing scrutiny of Senator Johnson Sakaja's degree. 

"If you see us clear somebody at a first level, we may not have those doubts, and if you see us question or put it back to other applicants to open the space for other applicants then you know that we are entertaining serious doubts about the credentials.  

"Because the Sakaja matter is being decided, it is not fair for the party's disputes committee to sit, let the institutions do their bit," Maina said. 

She said that the question of academic credentials for leaders should be looked at from a wider view.
