Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has been cleared by IEBC to contest for Nairobi governor in the August 9 polls.

This is after the electoral body’s Dispute Resolution Committee dismissed a petition that challenged Sajaka’s clearance to contest on grounds that he did not have a valid university degree, which is a requirement for the job.
