Serani Secondary School principal Abbas Juma Ulaya has defended governor Hassan Joho over allegations that he obtained his KCSE result slip from forged documents.

Ulaya confirmed that the ODM deputy party leader enrolled at the school from February 1990 and left in November 1993 after successfully sitting for his KCSE exams.

He further described the embattled governor as a bonafide student.

“Joho enrolled at the institution on 22/02/1990 under admission number 326,” the principal said in a statement, Monday.

“He sat for his KCSE examination in November 1993 under index number 16032063,” he added.

Ulaya noted that the school upholds students’ academic issues with a lot of seriousness adding that the institution is willing to offer any clarification concerning the school’s learners.

“As an academic institution, we take matters of student’s status with utmost seriousness,” he noted.

Joho on Monday refuted claims leveled against him by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) that he faked a KCSE certificate so as to be enrolled at the University of Nairobi.
