Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho will be on the ballot come August. The high court has poured cold water on his forgery case.
The state has been barred from
further prosecuting the Governor over the legitimacy of his academic
credentials. This means that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has also been
barred from freezing his accounts.
The court ruled that Joho's woes
were politically motivated and therefore unjust. Justice Eric Ogola ruled that
several state agencies were working in cahoots to stop Joho from vying. “All
alleged investigations by the Government agencies have a political ending in my
observation,” Ogola said. Joho stood to lose the chance to vie in Mombasa
should the court find him guilty of forgery. The High Court makes a major
ruling in the Joho-State case
The court has also ruled that the
state is required to reinstate the security detail to the Governor as he is a
legislator
