Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has sent a message to politicians who possess fake degrees.
In a tweet on Thursday, the vocal politician asked leaders with fake academic papers to discard them, arguing that one does not require a degree to be a man.
Khalwale gave an example of the late Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore who never attended university but had exemplary performance as a CEO.
"It's now in public domain. The mercurial business guru, Bob Collymore, had no University Education. Could all the Kenyan politicians with fake degrees humble themselves and discard them? Guys, you embarrass yourselves yet you don't have to have a degree to be a man. OR a leader!" tweeted Khalwale.
Bob Collymore never attended university and had earlier revealed that he turned down an offer to join Warwick University due to lack of fees.
“I wanted to go to university and I disliked not having gone and for some years after I wished I’d gone. Now it doesn’t matter, (but) I would always advise a young person to go to the best university you can find,” he once said during a past interview.
