Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has sent a daring message to Deputy
President William Ruto over the upcoming Msambweni mini-poll.
Speaking in Msambweni after ODM aspirant Omar Boga was cleared
by IEBC to contest the seat, Joho noted that the region is an ODM stronghold,
and as such he’ll work day and night to ensure the seat remains with the Orange
party.
He dared the DP to man up and have a direct face off with
him in Msambweni, arguing that Ruto is a coward who has been campaigning from
his Nairobi residence.
"I won't allow anyone to even imagine that they can come and play with us in our region, be it William Ruto or his people. In fact, he is such a coward! He's so afraid to come here that he is just sending his people… If you're man enough come here, don't play Msambweni politics in Nairobi at Karen there sending and posting pictures! Come here and let's meet man to man," Joho said.
