Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Joho addresses NASA supporters in Bomet green stadium, July 1, 2017. [Photo: Ali Hassan Joho]Governor Ali Hassan Joho was among Nasa leaders who attended Saturday rally in Bomet.Below is his statement to Bomet residents, as he attacked the incumbent Jubilee government."Chamgee Tugul, Bomet. When the Jubilee administration assumed office in 2013, they claimed it was on the premise of uniting the main protagonists in the 2007 election.This proposed unity became the unity of two individuals and not the unity of the country.Jubilee then proceeded on a policy of deliberate economic sabotage spanning all regions in Kenya. There was a milk for sugar" deal negatively affecting western Kenya. The plan to establish a Dry Port will destroy the entire coast economy.The Northern collector tunnels being built will divert the Irati, Gikigie and Maragua rivers that are the source of livelihood for communities in Ukambani, Murang'a, Garissa, Tana River and north Mathioya. These areas will become deserts.The importation of Chinese fish and investment in aquaculture in non traditional areas is to the detriment of fishing for Lake Victoria Basin residents. The manufactured artificial shortage of Unga in Kenya.This is poorly thought out public policy. Jubilee does not care about the detrimental effects of their programs.To my brothers and sisters in Bomet, the dam being built in Itaare Kuresoi will divert the Mau rivers and affect downstream Bomet, Kericho and Narok. This project is expected to supply water to Molo, Njoro, Rongai, Naivasha and Nakuru towns.The progress of one group does not have to be at the expense of another. We all belong to Kenya. Private commercial interest must not be disguised as progress.Real progress includes the interests of everyone. It is possible to move forward together.Under a NASA government, we shall move forward together. We shall move forward as a nation, as a people, and as a community. No one shall be left behind. Everyone deserves a place at the table.Under NASA, Mambo Yamebadilika, Mambo Yabadilika, Mambo Yatabadilika. Vote NASA, Vote RAO, Vote Stevo, Vote Isaac Ruto, Vote Hassan Ali Joho."
