What you need to know:

  • A brief from the examination agency that a certificate claiming that Mr Joho attained a C+ in 1992 was fake.
  • The D- certificate will shine the spotlight on the degree he received from Gretsa University in Thika given the minimum entry grade to university remains C+.
  • The governor has been engaged in a spat with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto over development in the Coast region.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho yesterday remained mum over allegations he forged a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results slip showing a score of C+ as he maintained that he was proud of his D- grade.

Mr Joho said he did not want to pre-empt his response to the detectives today when asked about the forged papers.

He was summoned to appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations over claims that he forged his KCSE exam results to secure admission to university.

This followed a brief from the examination agency that a certificate claiming that Mr Joho attained a C+ in 1992 was fake amid claims that he gained entry at the University of Nairobi, dropped studies and subsequently transferred to Kampala International University using the forged results.

Mr Joho said he was happy with the grade he got because he had turned it around into “real success”.

“I got a D-minus, but I have since made tremendous progress,” said Mr Joho.

The D- certificate will shine the spotlight on the degree he received from Gretsa University in Thika given the minimum entry grade to university remains C+.

“A forensic examination done on the handwriting and signatures appearing on the University of Nairobi application form was positive that it was actually filled and signed by Mr Joho,” says Spy agency NIS.

The governor has been engaged in a spat with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto over development in the Coast region.
