Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has once again accused President Kenyatta of sabotaging the economy of the coast region.
In what could rekindle past rivalry between the two, Governor Joho claimed that the upgraded inland container depot in Embakasi, Nairobi, launched by President Uhuru last week is part of the plot by the Jubilee administration to completely move port operations from Mombasa to Naivasha.
Joho said the launch of the ultra-modern container depot that was refurbished at a cost of Sh22 billion was part of the initial plan paralyse the port of Mombasa, which will lead to many locals losing their jobs.
“What we saw the other day were clear indications that the port operations are being moved from Mombasa and that is a fact. The one who is hurt must speak out."
“We told you before that they had planned to relocate port operations and that is what they are doing now,”Joho said.
He further faulted the creation of special economic zone (SEZ) in Eldoret, noting that this was a total sabotage of economy of Mombasa city.
“Shamelessly, they went ahead and launched a special economic zone in Eldoret,” he said.
“The practice worldwide is, for every successful economic zone, it must be supported by a port and an international airport."
“Is there a port in Eldoret? Is there and ocean there? And then someone wants us to be silent. We shall never shy away from talking about letting natural resources benefit those who surround them.”
Joho vowed to oppose any attempts by the oppressive Jubilee administration to deny the people of Mombasa their birth right.
“It is not possible that you are willing to engage in talks on resource development in other parts of the country but when you come here you make it seem like an offence when we talk of our resources.”
The port of Mombasa was in Mombasa “because it is God who wanted it to be in Mombasa and you cannot take that from us”, he said.

Little knowledge is dangerous. I still last year when the same Joho claimed that the SGR, and port expansion were going to create unemployment in Mombasa. He's so compromised that he can't think on his own.
D- mentallity.
Kweli kabisa. This academic dwarf cannot grasp development concepts.
you are a fool if u think he is adwarf y aren't u a governor fool
He is infatuated by Uhuru. Now I know why Uhuru told him not to follow him kama mke wake. Uhuru this, Uhuru that, everwhere Uhuru, Uhuru, Uhuru. This is ground for talaka if I was his wife.

Being anti Kyuk as the only campaign platform, can only take you so far. Raila is finding out really fast why.
Uhuru Kenyatta and his family, stole money from the US government through various projects.
The Americans don't like to be mocked.
So, keep fighting for Coast Joho, the Kenyatta family will end up like Gadaffi and Mubaraka.
The Americans don't like to be mocked by megalomaniacs.
Uhuruto are 22nd thieves. Joho is 100% right the two thugs are killing coast people in the name of maendeleo. Wakikuyu mafi kabxa how can they steal from government left right. There time is coming very quick
Building an ultra-modern container depot is stealing from the government?
Joho is either neive or obviously needs a lot more schooling. All successful Economic Zones don't have to have a port. Fist of all he seems not to even understand the whole concept behind Economic Zones. If you are unable to manage and steer your county to greater heights don't blame the President. Try and spend a little more time thinking and consulting professionals who can help you develop instead of wasting time and county's money on useless NASA endeavours.
@Doreen. Ever been unfortunate enough to listen to a broken record? High pitched, repetitive, nerve racking noise? Well, that's how.......jijazie!
And whilst the subject of women MP's wearing appropriate attire by Duale is still warm. Can he extend this to Joho and order him to button up during public presentations. We don't want to be distracted by "futhi" zimeenea to the chest! Swings both ways!
Joho continue making a fool of yourself. Elections will be here before you know it.
@ Doreen, are you academically inclined or what. Everything has to do with the west. We as Africans we can handle ourselves pretty good. Kila saa America America, when he was stealing as you claim he did where were you (Stop this 2 cents propaganda) If an American was reading this (He/she) Would laugh hysterically at your foolish thinking. So what else has he stolen Ms supreme court judge.
Doreen my fut.Are talking about the Americans who have killed thousands of women n kids in Libya,Iraq,Afghanistan n destroying others countries by bringing their lively hood into ashes??Shidwe don’t think like yr uncle Rao who to have swam into innocent human fresh n blood!Study Dubai Netherlands USA uk n see how they have come up with containers inland so u can understand how the economy grows with that.This joho alshababs is vey ugly coz they had bin doing a lot of corruption in the port n since his depot was closed n monitored fully he started talking shit.He use to bring contraband in his container depot n he was caught red handed so let’s b talking sence.Its a shame that pple like u Doreen having moved to USA bado unafikiria kama mtu hajawahi enda shule.Bure kabisa n don’t think like jaruo bana.
I am quoting someone else "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". He should have paid more attention in the class.
Is it true that Joho is the most handsome gavana in kenya
@Ali, mnaibiwa kama macho yako wapi? Hizo siesta za saa tisa zafaa mpige marufuku. Wenzenu wakienda kupalilia, nyinyi ni siesta na udaku baharini. Kisha Kesho yake mnalia mumeibiwa na wakikuyu, mara wabara, blah,blah, blah...jamani, wake up and smell the coffee and realize the early bird catches the worm!
It's true.Yes, It's damn true that this is a true D- mentality.Mombasa people have no one to blame but themselves!
You Yemenis, go back to Yemen where you belong!!!.
