President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Coast region locals to elect leaders who care about their interests.
Speaking on Sunday in Mombasa, Kenyatta said it was time to vote out leaders who have failed to champion for the rights of locals.
Kenyatta further hit out at Mombasa Governor Ali Joho, saying he has not delivered for his people.
The Head of State, who spoke when he addressed a Jubilee rally at Jomvu, said no one will become a hero by insulting other leaders.
“You can only become a hero if you remove the tonnes of garbage in the streets of Mombasa not by issuing insults. We will clap for you when you clean Mombasa,” said the President.
“How many markets have you built for small traders? How many kilometers of roads have you built?,” asked the President.
The President further accused Joho of engaging in ignorance with claims that the Government wants to relocate the port of Mombasa to Naivasha.
“Suleiman Shahbaal (the Jubilee Mombasa gubernatorial candidate) will serve the people of Mombasa and not his stomach,” said the President as he urged residents to vote for the Jubilee team.
“We want the right leaders who will sit down with the Government to solve the problems facing the people of Mombasa,” added the President.
