Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho seems to have fully reconciled with President Uhuru Kenyatta after their initial row which resulted in public outbursts.
Joho was part of the group of leaders that accompanied Uhuru for the commissioning of the Kenya Coast Guard Service in Liwatoni, where he seemed to have found a new friend in the Head of State.
The same was the case during a Jumuia Za Kaunti Za Pwani Conference at Pride Inn Hotel where the duo could be spotted cracking jokes and having a good time.
Unlike initial where he attacked the President, Joho praised Uhuru for his achievements, lauding him for among others, spearheading the repossession of grabbed public land in the region.
“Mr president, you have talked about this before and you have done it. You have managed to repossess several chunks of land. Now the only thing you can do is put a caveat on the recovered public land so that it is not grabbed again,” he is quoted by the Standard.
When he got up to speak at the conference, Uhuru thanked Joho for hosting him into his county, but turned down his other invitation to again host them in Kilifi.
"I thank Governor Joho for inviting us and other governors. It is not that we did not want to be in Kilifi; there were many functions in Mombasa," he said.
Joho always appeared to be at ease with Deputy President William Ruto with whom they are expected to faceoff for the presidency in the 2022 elections.
