He did not complete a diploma course. The certificate he produced in court belongs to another student, Mr Francis Otieno Dwero,&#8221; Mr Nyagowa told Justice Fred Ochieng.<\/p>\n<p>The registrar was answering questions from Interim Independent Electoral Commission official Ben Mukuria.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Records show Mr Kahura did not graduate with a diploma certificate in electrical engineering. All he told this court are untruths,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>A Kenya National Examinations Council official, Mr Linus Shikami, said a Kenya Certificate of Primary Education produced in court by former assistant minister Patrick Muiruri belonged to Mr Waibara.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The copy belongs to Mr Waibara. He attended Gikindu Primary School in Kiambu District and completed KCPE in 1985.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The copy is (of) a genuine certificate and it tallies with our records. It is not a fake or forgery as stated last week by the principal secretary in charge of archives, Mr Patrick Miano. He relied on records extracted from a school in Murang&#8217;a District,&#8221; Mr Shikami said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Shikami was being cross-examined by lawyer Muthomi Thiankolu for a voter who has challenged Mr Waibara&#8217;s election.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner, Mr Bernard Chege Mburu, is asking the court to anull the results, alleging there was violence and voter bribery.<\/p>\n<p>He also alleges the MP does not have the educational qualifications to participate in parliamentary proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing continues.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit site:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106280076.html\" title=\"Witness in Waibara Poll Case Faulted\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Witness in Waibara Poll Case Faulted<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Richard Munguti 27 June 2011 Nairobi \u2014 A university registrar on Monday said a witness in an election petition against Gatundu North MP Clement Waibara did not tell the truth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":449065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-449064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-local-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
