Awiti said working with the government does not in any way qualify his as a mole.

The Wiper MP hosted President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday during the president's tour of the Coast region recently.

He said hosting the President does not make him a traitor.

Awiti has been at loggerheads with Governor Hassan Joho for the last close to three years.

He is expected to challenge Mr Joho for the seat of governor in August.

"Is it a crime to host a President in a constituency where you were elected?" he asked as quoted by the Star.

"Let’s be realistic."

He reiterated his bid for the Mombasa Governor seat.
