President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mombasa County Governor Hassan Joho
Mombasa Senator and Wiper Party Secretary General Hassan Omar has revealed the real reason behind the harsh relationship between Governor Hassan Joho and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In the recent days, after Uhuru told Joho to stop following him around and said he will deal with him, the Mombasa CEO has been on the receiving end from the DCI and EACC, both scrutinising his academic credentials and even had his bank accounts frozen.
To many opposition supporters, the woes facing Joho have been seen as a political plan by Jubilee to ensure the ODM party Deputy leader does not defend his seat on August 8th.

"I personally know where the rain between Uhuru Kenyatta and Joho started beating them it was not a political fallout, it was business, from the free port, NYS and to a few other issues that were not honored," he said.
Omar also lectured Joho not to turn personal issues into a political fight to win sympathy from Mombasa residents.
"Then you reorient a personal business fallout to a political conversation," he added.
The senator also urged Coastal people not to be swayed by Joho's inspiration that with a D-(Minus) life is not over, but they should endeavor to score well in school.
