He degree was fake. If ODM had nominated her they would have handed the seat to Jubilee on a golden tray. It is not ODM that found fault with her degree but the Commission for Higher Education. She knows her degree was unaccredited and that is why she joined a local University for a bachelors degree.
Yet she launches a tirade against ODM for non existent offenses. If she wants to win favor with Jubilee, she can go ahead and do it without drama. This is the woman who threatened to kill and bury her husband who then died shortly after in mysterious circumstances.
Former Starehe MP Bishop Margaret Wanjiru has said she quit Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) a long time ago and is now shopping for a new political party.
Ms Wanjiru said she left the former premier Raila Odinga-led political party after she was humiliated by the party leadership when she was denied the opportunity to vie for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat during the last General Elections.
Ms Wanjiru tried to vie for the seat on an ODM party but was barred after it emerged that her degree was not recognised and accused the party for doing nothing to save her situation.
Ms Wanjiru, who has been out of public limelight since the elections, spoke to journalists at St Paul�s University on Tuesday where she graduated with a degree in Leadership and Management among other over 1,500 graduands.
�I have been very serious and very committed in school and now I have a Kenyan degree. A few years ago when I launched my candidature for the Nairobi governor the only thing ODM did was to do what they did to me about my religious degree. They call them theological, pastoral but now let�s hear who will say what now,� Ms Wanjiru said.
She was barred from running for seat after her degree of Theology from Vineyard Harvester Bible College and a Bachelor�s degree in Christian Leadership from United Graduate College and Seminary International, were rejected by the Commission for Higher Education.
She said even though her son Stephen Kariuki, the Mathare MP, is in ODM, she can no longer work for or with the party.
With her degree she said she is in a better position and asked any party interested in her to invite her as she is not in any political party.
�Any party that feels that it wants to work with me, they can invite me but ODM in not among them. Going back to ODM is a no. I left ODM a long time ago after what they did to me and that is democracy,� she said.
The party leadership, she said betrayed her by the move, saying she had been loyal; and had done a lot to develop the party and termed its leaders as untrustworthy people.
She believes that she was unfairly denied the Nairobi position by ODM but believes it belongs to her and there is nothing will block her from getting it saying, �The Nairobi governorship was mine and it remains mine.�
She expressed optimism that the International Criminal Court charges against President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang would be dropped.
Ms Wanjiru criticised Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero�s leadership, saying he has failed to clean up the town, address security issues and asked him to be prepared to a �tsunami� in 2017.

Omollo, it doesn't matter what she did or didn't do. It doesn't give you the right to use that word Malaya on women, anyday, anytime, no matter what. You claim to have a wives and children. I am sure you even have a mother somewhere...ask them what they think about that. Is she the first politician to produce fake papers for a position? Kenya is run by thugs with fake papers ....Isn't Sonko Nairobi's shot caller? I am not even sure the president graduated since I haven't seen his papers......short story, focus on the behavior and do it across the board without the ad feminam. Its not a woman's problem, its a Kenyan problem.

I haven't used the word for a while now. This site is not suited for that kind of language.
