Differences between Nairobi senator Mike Sonko and Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Joho could once again re-surface, after the lawmaker attacked him, afresh.
The two, first exchanged bitter words in public as president Uhuru Kenyatta watched, during a ceremony to issue title deeds to persons occupying the controversial Waitiki land in Likoni, Mombasa County.
Joho appeared to spark the controversy when he challenged Uhuru not to snub him while visiting the county.
Sonko who supports Uhuru, however slammed the ODM deputy governor, saying he had no respect for the president.
The two have been silent on each other, since then.
However, Sonko attacked Joho afresh, citing his academic qualifications.
According to him, Joho could not prove he went through University education.
Sonko cited this, as he was addressing the press over his academic certificates, saying he went through secondary school, college and university, and could prove it.
"The current Knut chairman Mudzo Nzili was the chairman of the Board of Governor at Kwale High School. My former headmaster Manoah Ndegwa is the current director of education in Tana River. My schoolmates are all over. So I'm not like Joho, who can not even produce a gown to prove he went to school,'' Sonko said, Friday.
"I'm not an investigator, it's up to you to go to my former schools and prove that i was there as a student. Come up with a report and compare my degree with Joho's,'' he added.
Joho has also been in political spat with the president.
Sonko further expressed optimism of clinching the Jubilee party nomination ticket, saying he would send governor Dr Evans Kidero home.
