The high-profile shooting of the former Garissa finance CEC Idriss Muktar catapulted Governor Korane to the limelight.
Just as the news of the August shooting emerged, residents from Garisa County reacted in various ways.
Allegations and counter-allegations flew around.
Among the most contentious issues that made into the public domain include his alleged questionable academic credentials.
It was widely reported by various media houses that the key issue that led to the shooting of Idris Mukhtar, was the fact that he was in the process of initiating a private prosecution in a case implicating the governor over his academic certificate from the University of Nairobi.
This sole issue, had placed the CEC at loggerheads with Ali Korane.
At the time also, several graft cases allegedly involving the governor emerged.
Among the documented cases include several flawed tenders and most importantly, the loss of Ksh 9 Million from the NHIF kitty in Masalani hospital.
The above incidents proved a nightmare for the governor's public relations team to address.
Will Korane weather these storms?
Only time will tell.
