By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorThe electoral commission on Tuesday called on investigative agencies in the country to conclusively probe the validity of Garissa Governor Ali Korane’s academic papers. This comes after lawyer Charles Kanjama claimed that a second fraudulent file on the governor's nomination documents had been sneaked into the electoral agency after the commencement of investigations. Mr Kanjama is representing former Garissa Finance Executive Idriss Mukhtar, who was reportedly planning to challenge the authenticity of the governor's academic papers, before he was shot and injured in Nairobi. Mr Chebukati explained that Mr Korane was cleared to vie on the basis of the nomination documents he presented before the IEBC County Returning Officer (CRO) which includes a duly filled self-declaration form. Mr Chebukati, however, cautioned against unfounded statements that are not justifiable and prejudicial to the investigations.
