Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has claimed that the Jubilee government is planning to silence and gag individuals out to inform the citizenry about corruption cases in the country.
Speaking during a fundraiser at Shika Adabu Primary School in Likoni, Joho claimed the government is planning to charge such individuals with hate speech.
The governor called for a thorough probe into major corruption scandals that have hit the Jubilee administration, asking the government to bring those involved to book.
"We all know that Jubilee is the most corrupt government that has ever been in existence since independence and now President Uhuru Kenyatta is threatening to gag and arrest anyone criticising the government concerning graft," Joho said.
"He should know that we are not afraid of prison and if it comes to that, Mr Ruto should be the first one to be investigated over graft," he added, as quoted by The Standard.
