Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has decided to grant his wife’s wishes by consenting to the termination of their marriage.
Joho appeared in person at the Mombasa Kadhi’s court in response to a divorce case filed by his first wife Madina Giovanni Fazzini.
The outgoing Mombasa Governor did not object to his estranged wife’s petition, signalling acceptance of their new lives as exes.
The divorce papers were filed at the Mombasa Chief Kadhi’s court on January 26, 2022.
In the documents, Madina who is of Italian-Somali descent told the court that she and the politician separated in 2013.
She further stated that the two have little chance of resurrecting their failed marriage after 9 years of being apart.
Governor 001 and Fazzini married in February 2011, and the couple has two children, ages nine and eight.
“I am clear and unequivocal that our marriage has broken down irretrievably with no chance of revival, given we have both moved on over the years,” reads part of the documents filed in court.
Fazzini further stated that after separating, Joho promptly left their matrimonial home, leaving her to take care of their two children.
Fazzini and her children then left the residence in September 2020.
