Joho’s woes continue, a fresh twist on his alleged fake academic papers has seen him being summoned by Coast DCI Regional Coordinator Pius Macharia.

Kenya National Examination Council claimed in a letter that Joho’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate was forged.

Joho’s spokesman Richard Chacha however rubbished the claim saying that it was piece of propaganda circulated by Jubilee and other state agencies.

These allegation come only a few weeks after the Mombasa governor clashed with President Uhuru, the head of state vowed to ‘deal’ with him.

The embattled Mombasa governor has since been summoned to record a statement with the CID over the authenticity of his academic credentials.

The police wanted Joho to present himself on Tuesday March 28^th but governor 001 has explained he won’t be going to the police on that date.

Sultan says he will honor the police summon but he will only do so on Wednesday the 29th of March.

“Intimidation continues, today at 4:30pm I received a summon from Mr. Pius Macharia to appear at the Regional DCI Headquarters Mombasa and record a statement.

“I have informed them in writing that due to confirmed prior commitments I will personally honor the summon on Wednesday the 29th of March at 10.30am. I know I will be vindicated once again and this will never deter me from pursuing the transformation agenda for my people,” Joho wrote.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has today March 15^th 2017 recorded a statement at Coast regional police headquarters after unknown men stormed his house.

Joho was flanked by journalists and his supporters as he went to the police station, apparently some 6 people armed with AK47 rifle stormed into his house in Nyali and stayed for about an hour.

While addressing the press, Joho said the men were unshaken and warned a neighbor who spotted them to keep off if he wanted to stay alive.

The house was vacant at the time of the raid, the Mombasa governor vacated his Nyali home months ago following a squabble with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“I suspect if they were not after me they went to the construction site because they wanted to plant some illegal guns and later link them to me,” Joho told journalist.

The Mombasa governor also said that he would not demand for more security explaining that it is God who gives life and takes.

Just when you thought intimidations and police harassment ended with Daniel Moi’s regime, a disturbing video pops showing GSU officers frustrating Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

President Uhuru’s government is rekindling old memories of the dark era when Kenya was a police state. The incident in Nyali early today morning was a slap in the face for the new constitution which was promulgated in 2010 – it guarantees freedom of movement.

A video doing rounds on social media shows a contingent of General Service Unit (GSU) surrounding and blocking Hassan Joho at Nyali Bridge.

Apparently the GSU officers were under instructions to block the Mombasa governor from attending Uhuru’s function in Mtongwe.

The president has today re-launched the Mtongwe Ferry without Mombasa governor Hassan Joho being in attendance.

The video shows Joho pleading with the GSU officers to let him go by his business but his plea fell on deaf ears. At one point the Governor almost broke down in tears.

The most spectacular wedding of the month was held on March 11^th in Mombasa. And Governor 001 couldn’t miss it.

The daughter of Mombasa woman representative Mishi Mboko walked down the aisle on Saturday in a colorful wedding that was attended by several politicians including Mombasa governor Hassan Joho.

Mishi Mboko’s beautiful daughter Hafidha exchanged vows with the lover of her life Tariq in a Swahili-themed wedding.

The Mombasa woman representative caused a stir last January during voters registration drive; she urged women in opposition strongholds to deny their spouses conjugal rights to force them to register as voters ahead of August 8 elections.

Speaking at the Jomo Kenyatta showground at Mkomani in Mombasa while issuing cheques to women and youth self-help groups, Ms Mboko said sex was a powerful weapon to make reluctant men rush to register as voters.

But last Saturday there was no room for political rhetoric during the wedding of Ms Mboko’s daughter, Joho and other politicians were full of encouraging words for the newlywed couple.

“I congratulate Hon. Mishi Mboko and her family on the wedding of her daughter Hafidha to Mr. Tariq. I wish the newly weds a very happy and fruitful marriage as they start a new chapter in life,” Joho wrote.

Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Joho left Kenya for US on February 14^th to attend a United Nations Strong Cities summit that seeks to find solutions to the rising violent extremism in the coast region.

Hassan Joho is expected to hold a round table meeting with Homeland Security officials to discuss matter security.

The 001 governor was accorded warm treatment in US contrary to expectation that the no nonsense Donald Trump administration would give him a hard time because of his alleged involvement in drugs.

Former US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger dropped a dossier in 2010 in which Joho, Kiambu governor William Kabogo, Nairobi senator Mike Sonko, Harun Mwau and Mombasa tycoon Ali Punjani were implicated in drug trafficking.

Joho has however had a smooth stay in America, the Mombasa governor is being transported in a big Cadillac SUV with a customized plate written ‘USA VIP’, obviously a government vehicle.

The 001 governor also had time off his busy schedule to freely stroll down the streets of US city.

Mombasa governor moved out of his house in Nyali last week following friction with the national government. Apparently Joho received intelligence that made him make the move.

Sometimes last week, Flying Squad officers raided and ransacked the house of a close ally of Mombasa governor.

Coast Regional Coordinator, Nelson Marwa , said the government was planning to mop up illegal guns at the Coast ahead of the August general election; he further revealed the operation was mainly targeting licensed owners, especially VIPs, who were abusing the privilege.

The squabble between Mombasa governor and president Uhuru is thought to be the reason why the government is now targeting certain people in Mombasa.

Speaking outside Mombasa county headquarters during the official launch of voter registration in his county, Hassan Joho said he rejected new police officers sent to guard his home after receiving intelligence reports that there was a scheme to eliminate him.

The Mombasa governor claimed he received reliable information that the government was planning to use the new security officers to plant drugs and firearms in his residence in Nyali.

“I have rejected the State bodyguards because I had reliable information Jubilee was planning to plant illegal guns in my residence and spy on me using such officers. I would rather protect myself than allow these people to stay around me,” Joho spoke.

The government withdrew police officers attached to Mombasa governor Hassan Joho after he told president Uhuru to his face that he was hijacking development projects at the coast.

The government ordered police protecting Joho to immediately surrender their firearms to the nearest police station in Mombasa.

The state later reinstated Joho’s security explaining that the withdrawal was aimed at restructuring police guarding governors.

Addressing delegates in the opposition rally at Bomas of Kenya on Wednesday January 11^th, Joho said he didn’t need state protection.

“I am the happiest man on earth, I drove myself to this venue and will drive myself home. Jubilee can stay with their security,” Joho spoke.

True to his word, Joho locked out police officers deployed to guard his residence in Nyali. Media reports claim that the officers were chased away when they arrived at Joho’s house to carry on with their duty.

Joho’s communications director Richard Chacha revealed the governor vacated his residence over safety concerns after the government withdrew his security.

“Let them knock and ask who the new occupants are… Joho has already hired another team for his new home,”  Richard Chacha said.

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has been accused of being an academic dwarf several times. A KCSE certificate doing rounds on the internet has further ruined Joho’s reputation in as far as education is concerned.

In 2014, Joho fought a battle to prove to Kenyans his university degree was genuine. The Mombasa governor was accused of buying a degree even though he proved he was a student at Kampala International University and he graduated properly.

Sometimes in November last year, Deputy President William Ruto also accused Joho of being an academic dwarf for opposing the set up of a dry port in Eldoret. Speaking at the historic Tononoka grounds during the launch of Jubilee Party, Ruto said Joho was an academic dwarf who couldn’t grasp the term ‘dry port’.

Then yesterday January 11^th someone posted a KCPE certificate of a certain Ali Hassan and claimed the certificate was Joho’s.

The certificate showed Ali Hassan who was a student at Serani Secondary School, scored a mean grade of D Minus in 1993 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam.

Joho through Mombasa County’s Director of Communications, Richard Chacha, dismissed the KCSE certificate.

“His name is Hassan Ali Joho not Ali Hassan. That is fake,” Richard Chacha said.
