The state now wants the Court of Appeal to overturn last year's High Court ruling that terminated criminal investigations into Governor Hassan Ali Joho's academic and birth certificates.

Last year Justice Eric Ogola terminated the host of investigations launched by state agencies on Joho's bank accounts, tax records, academic and birth documents after finding the probes were politically-motivated by differences between the governor and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
