Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has hit out at Kilifi gubernatorial candidate Kazungu Kambi, terming him a Jubilee side chick.
Joho further dismissed Kambi’s gubernatorial bid, arguing that he is a political tourist in the Coast region just like President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.The outspoken Governor also criticised Kambi for allegedly being a Jubilee supporter since 2013, despite being the Kadu Asili party chairman, Baraka FM reports.“I have heard that Jubilee has been going around Kilifi County led by Gideon Mung’aro, Mustafa Iddi, Peter Shehe and their side chick Kazungu Kambi,” Joho said.“I want to tell them one thing that they are just but normal political tourists in the coastal region,” he added, as quoted by the daily.Joho and Kingi are spearheading the National Super Alliance (NASA) campaigns in the Coast region as they seek to make Raila Odinga’s State House bid a reality.Joho, who is considered the Coast political kingpin, said Kazungu’s push for a five piece voting pattern is a clear indicator that he is politically immature because he does not have a preferred presidential candidate.“How do you term yourself a politician yet you don’t know your presidential candidate? This is ridiculous for sure,” said Joho.According to the daily, Kambi has been urging residents in the region to vote for Kadu Asili aspirants in the five positions of governor, senator, MP, women rep and MCA, but to vote for a presidential candidate of their choice.
