Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has backed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s war against graft. Speaking in Lamu on Monday, Joho said that all leaders should stand with Uhuru in the war against the vice.
The second-term county boss noted that graft is among the reasons behind underdevelopment in various parts of the nation.
He insisted that he is President Kenyatta’s number supporter as far as the war against corruption is concerned.
“I want to tell President Uhuru Kenyatta that I am your number one follower and supporter of the ongoing anti-graft war,” he said, as quoted Daily Nation.
The county boss also said that the only way to ensure corruption is a thing of the past is undertaking a lifestyle audit of all government officials.
The governor also said that he is fully behind the handshake between Uhuru and African Union Representative on Infrastructure Raila Amolo Odinga.
He noted that the newfound love between the two leaders has changed many things in this nation since the 2017 General elections.
Joho also asked Deputy President William Ruto not to refer to himself as a hustler because he had amassed a lot of wealth through what he believes as dubious means.
The governor has been launching attacks after attacks against Ruto.
