The Commission for University Education (CUE) has withdrawn the letter that revoked the recognition of Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja's degree from Team University "pending further investigations."

In an affidavit signed today (Wednesday) by CUE chair Prof Chacha Nyaigotti-Chacha in response to an application by Mr Sakaja for a judicial review, the commission says that there is no longer a basis for the court to exercise jurisdiction over the matter.
