Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has affirmed that no amount of intimidation will make him change his political stance.
Speaking on Wednesday at Bomas of Kenya at a meeting convened by the opposition to discuss the formation of the National Super Alliance (NASA), the governor said a section of leaders want to pressurize him into praising President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto for initiating ghost projects in different parts of the nation, including his backyard.
“Some sections wanted me to bow down to the current administration and praise them for projects that were commissioned by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. I did not, and cannot,” he said, as quoted by Citizen.
The outspoken governor further said that he will not be intimated by the government's move to withdraw his security detail.
“I am the happiest man on earth since I came back to the country from Ghana. I drove myself to Nairobi and I am going to drive myself home. I am telling Jubilee that I do not need protection by government,” he said.
