3 times Hassan Joho has been accused of being an academic dwarf and a cheat… Even by DP William Ruto

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 11th 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.
