Sakaja filed contempt of court proceedings against CUE Chairman Prof. Chacha Nyaigoti-Chacha for allegedly violating court directives.
Sakaja alleged in court records that Prof. Chacha showed "contempt, disdain, and disobedience of court rulings" that temporarily postponed CUE's revocation of his degree by addressing the media on Friday, June 17.

"On the even date, 17th June 2022 at 7:00 p.m, the Contemnor herein one PROF. CHACHA NYAIGOTI-CHACHA who is the Chairman of the Board of the Respondent, went live on all major national television and other media fora wherein he issued a press statement whose contents were a mockery and contemptuous of the Court’s orders earlier served upon the Respondent," reads court documents.
"THAT later, on 20th June 2022 at around 5:00 p.m. the Contemnor again released a signed press statement to all media houses, wherein he ostensibly made reference to the Applicant, the orders of status quo ante, and the court process in general."
However, CUE defended itself saying that the Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Johnson Sakaja`s motion had been overtaken by circumstances and that there is no basis for the court to exercise jurisdiction over the subject.
"The respondent wishes to confirm to the court that the substratum of this suit is the 14 June 2022 from which review is sought is hereby withdrawn pending further investigations by the respondents -CUE which investigations are ongoing, "reads court papers.
