Besides the first lady, the governor has been host to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua who has been unforgiving of the ODM party leader Raila Odinga.

In his latest tour of Mombasa, the deputy president rallied the governor behind the national government for the benefit of the coastal county's people.

The deputy president is on record wooing the governors elected on opposition political outfit(s) to forge their leader and work with the President William Ruto-led administration.
