Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho on Friday revisited chaotic scenes in 2017 that left several people wounded when he toured Migori County.
Upon the invitation by Ochillo Ayacko and Junet Mohamed, Joho caught himself in the middle of fierce local politics that had engulfed ODM party.
Governor Okoth Obado had reportedly hired goons who gave Joho and the team hard times leading to shootings that left Joho wounded.
Joho termed the frucas as an attempt to assassinate him. Obado had accused him of meddling in local politics despite being a senior party official.
But on Friday, over two years after the incident, Joho left Obado cracking ribs at a fundraiser in Suna East when he said that Obado 'showed him dust'.
“The last time I was here, it was not easy, you showed me dust, but the handshake between Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta has changed our politics, let us embrace each other,” Joho said, amid laughter from Obado and the crowd
Governor Okoth Obado took also the Friday's event to lecture Suna West MP Peter Masara who he accused of disrespecting him.
“I am not corrupt as some of you have been claiming, I have not stolen anything, in fact, some of you are of worse characters,” Obado said.
He told Masara to stop calling him a thief wherever he goes before jumping in their cars to Nairobi.
“There are people who find joy in calling me a thief wherever they go and then take off to the city, Hon Masara stop that bad behaviour, I am not a thief,” the governor said amid laughter.
