Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa on Friday, August 6 graduated from Mt Kenya University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Public Administration.<\/p>\n

In an interview on TV47, Barasa stated that he was able to balance his work and education because his course was similar to his legislative roles.<\/p>\n

Further, Barasa disclosed that he was a holder of two undergraduate degrees and masters.<\/p>\n

“I am very happy. Learning is an unendless journey…I go through a lot of policy and proposals and the university had a friendly program,” Barasa stated.<\/p>\n

He noted that he had enrolled for yet another masters degree and was working towards attaining a diploma in project management.<\/p>\n

“My education is not to help me secure employment but just to expand my knowledge and help me in my legislative roles,” Barasa added.<\/p>\n

During the interview, the controversial legislator reiterated that he had not slapped a contractor at the Baptist Lurare Primary School in Kimilili constituency contrary to a video making rounds on social media.<\/p>\n

Barasa stated that he was signaling the contractor, Stephen Masinde, to zip up his trousers.<\/p>\n

In addition, Barasa stated that as a legislator, he had no mandate to procure or pay contractors. He, however, noted that the process of paying Masinde was in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

“I did not slap him even though some people have come out to support me,” he stated.<\/p>\n

“You cannot go into a learning institution and close it down. Only the Head of State, a court of law and the Minister for Education can do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
