(Photo: Courtesy)Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho Thursday told the High Court that the forgery investigation facing him was all political witch-hunt. The governor said President Uhuru Kenyatta was behind his woes so as to bar him from contesting the August 8 polls. Through his lawyer, Senator James Orengo, Joho told the court that his tribulations at the hands of State agencies emanated from Uhuru's mid-March statement in Mtongwe when the President threatened to teach him a lesson. The High Court last week extended orders suspending the investigation on the governor and barring police from arresting Joho.
