Nyali MP Mohammed Ali has accused Mombasa governor Hassan Joho’s family of trying to undermine him.

The former investigative journalist singled out Joho’s elder brother Abu whom he said was trying to force his supporters to sign statements that would be used to file a petition against his win in the August 8 election.

But the governor has dismissed the allegations terming them petty.

“We are not ready for his pettiness. We will not engage him on this,” said Joho’s director of communication Richard Chacha as quoted by the Star.
