Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has opposed the proposed creation of a dry port in Naivasha.
According to Joho, the government was creating employment crisis by removing port services in Mombasa.
“We will not cease from opposing any move aimed at taking away port services from Mombasa to Naivasha,” he said.
He said that the inland terminal will transfer key services to Naivasha causing massive job losses in Mombasa.
Speaking on Saturday in Gazi, Kwale County, Mr Joho further stated that the Jubilee administration has failed to correct historical injustices on the Coast.
Joho, a sharp critic of the Jubilee administration maintained that the coast was an opposition zone and will not vote Jubilee.
