Tom Mboya Primary School in Mombasa has confirmed that Governor Hassan Joho sat his KCPE there in 1988.
The school wrote to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Wednesday, following their request to know if the Governor was enrolled at the school.
"With reference to your letter. I do hereby confirm that Hassan Ali was a pupil in this school," reads a letter stamped and signed by Tom Mboya Primary School headmaster Baba Suleiman.
The headmaster in the letter states that Joho sat for his KCPE with index number 16010/19 in 1988.
He further says that Joho scored C+ in English Language, B- in Mathematics and D+ in Science and Agriculture.
"He was awarded KCPE certificate number 107490," the letter reads.
Detectives from the EACC visited the school on Wednesday as part of their investigation into the Governor Joho’s academic background.
In a letter dated March 28, the anti-graft agency asked the school for documents and information that will facilitate the probe into the Governor.
EACC deputy Chief Executive Officer Michael Mubea sought to if the outspoken ODM leader sat KCPE there and the grades he attained.
The governor’s academic papers have been questioned recently, with the Kenya National Examinations Council saying he did not sit for KCSE in 1992 at Serani Secondary School.
Joho has come out in public saying he scored a D- in KCSE in the year 1993.
