Mombasa governor Hassan Joho has cleared the air on the alleged personal attack against President Uhuru Kenyatta in Mombasa saying he only critisized his administration for not initiating any projects for the Coastal residents.
Joho who was speaking during a breakfast show on a station in his county on Friday, insisted that he only represented the view of his people on the alleged lecture aimed at the president.
“I did not mention Uhuru in my speech. I did not tell him [that] as a person. I said the Jubilee government should show us what projects they have done in Mombasa since they came to power,” he was quoted by The Star.
He also explained that by saying he will be ready to work with the government to benefit his county did not mean he was in support of the Jubilee government.
“When I say we will work together, it does not mean that I support the Jubilee government. Working together means; you do your bit as national government as I work on my part," he said.
The vocal governor insisted that he will not relent in criticizing Uhuru led government stating that Mombasa has benefited as much as other parts of the country has from the government funding.
“They went to Western region and gave out billions. They went to Central and farmers were given billions for their debts. Why can’t Mombasa get the same treatment?” he posed.
