Several activists under Haki Africa waged demonstrations in Mombasa on Monday, accusing National Government and Mombasa county of promoting SGR monopoly.

For hours, businesses were paralysed in the port city, with the organisers seizing the opportunity to call on top government leaders over SGR 'monopoly'.

On his Twitter account, Ali warned of impending revolution, apologising to commuters over the inconveniences caused during the demos.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is a revolution!" said Ali, a critic of Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

 Ali, a former journalist, has been at loggerheads with Joho and ODM leadership for months, years after failing to clinch the party's ticket for 2017 polls. He's an independent.

Activist Boniface Mwangi had accused Joho and Raila Odinga of allegedly betraying the people of Mombasa over the SGR project.

"Watu wa Mombasa walipigia kura @RailaOdinga @HassanAliJoho. Wasaliti wa watu wa Mombasa ni hao wawili, wabunge na ma MCA. Hao ndio walimpa Uhuru @StateHouseKenya ruhusa aharibu Uchumi wa Mombasa.Watu wa pwani kataeni utumwa wa Joho na Ndungu yake Abu. #okoamombasa #BlackMonday," he said.

(Coastal people voted for Raila and Joho. The betrayers of Mombasa people are those two people. They allowed President Uhuru Kenyatta to collapse regional economy).

The SGR project is said to have rendered hundreds of people desperate especially truck drivers who depend on the port of Mombasa for livelihood.
