The electoral commission yesterday told the court that it is not required by law to verify whether aspirants have submitted authentic documents before clearing them.
While urging High Court judge Anthony Mrima to dismiss a case filed by Dennis Wahome against Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja, the commission argued that it could not revoke Sakaja’s clearance even after the authenticity of his documents was questioned. The senator has expressed interest to vie as Nairobi governor on a UDA ticket.
