Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya has accused Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho of disrespecting the presidency.
Speaking on Sunday in Kombani, Mvurya warned Joho against his continued criticism of the Jubilee administration, describing it as 'a bad show from an elected leader'.
“If you want to get respect by a certain area, it will be reflected through its leaders. If you want to see a country respected, you must respect the President. You cannot keep on abusing President Kenyatta, he deserves respect. Kwale needs to be respected,” Mvurya demanded.
"If your interest is to undermine the presidency, then it shows there is something lacking. But Kwale people have wisdom," he added.
Mvurya's remarks were in a clear reference to Joho's onslaught on the Jubilee Government last week, where he accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of taking credit for projects commissioned by previous regimes in a move aimed at endearing the Coastal people for votes.
