The just concluded case regarding Mombasa Governor, Ali Hassan Joho’s degree has taken another twist after Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Keriako Tobiko reopened the case.
Speaking through social media, Tobiko ordered for fresh investigations into the alleged forgery of a degree certificate by Joho, which qualified him to run for
Governorship in the 2013 elections.
This follows a petition by the complainant, Silas Otuke, who challenged the qualification of Joho to run for Governor.
In his petition, Otuke claimed that Joho forged his degree papers from the Kampala University since he never attended any class in that university even though the university claimed the degree was genuine.
Last month, the High Court in Mombasa dismissed the petition challenging Joho’s degree certificate as premature because the petitioner had not exhausted all other Constitutional mechanisms to determine the validity of the degree.
However, Tobiko has vowed to jail Joho if new investigations will find him guilty of forgery and he will lose his seat as Governor too.
