The controversy surrounding the academic qualification of Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has taken a new twist after a section of leaders demanded that prominent Jubilee politicians at the Coast be investigated as well.

The certificates circus has now moved to Kilifi where Governor Amason Kingi has called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to urgently investigate the authenticity of certificates held by other gubernatorial aspirants at the Coast.
