Garissa Governor Ali Korane could be removed from office after a petition was filed at the Milimani Law Courts.

Aden Mukhtar Bare, the father of Former Garissa Finance CEC Idris Mukhtar who survived an attempted assassination, filed the suit challenging the academic papers of Governor Korane.

Bare asked the court to declared the seat vacant arguing that Garissa County boss presented fake academic papers, thereby breaching the Constitution.

According to Bare, enigmas began to emerge over the authenticity of the governor’s Masters of Business Administration degree certificate only months after he had assumed office following last year’s General Election.

He further stated that on January 30, 2018, the University of Nairobi – through the office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor – allegedly stated that Korane did not graduate with the MA in Business Administration from the school.

Blame over attempted assassination

Bare, who spoke to members of the press at Milimani Law Courts pointed a finger at Governor Korane over his son’s shooting.

He told journalists that his son was still in a comma and according to his doctors, even if he healed he will suffer permanent disability.
