During the grilling, Joho denied forging the said document. He said he was not the owner of a KCSE certificate results slip showing that one Ali Hassan attained a C+ in 1992 at Serani Secondary School in Mombasa.
Tuesday, the defiant opposition politician said he scored a D- in KCSE in the year 1993, and he was proud of it, considering the struggles he went through during his studies.
“I got a D-minus but I have since made tremendous progress," he said while addressing the press.
His statement was corroborated by Serani School principal Abbas Ulaya, who said Joho was a bona fide student of the school and graduated in 1993.

Joho has described his recent woes as witch-hunt, pointing fingers of accusation at President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Joho says he is ready to defend himself in court in case he is prosecuted over forgery.
