Governor Hassan Joho Visits Ailing Tycoon Chris Kirubi at His Coast Residence

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has become the latest leader to visit ailing billionaire businessman Chris Kirubi.

The Governor paid Kirubi a visit at his coast residence in Kilifi County on Saturday. Taking to Twitter, the business mogul who has been recuperating from a yet to be disclosed ailment, said he discussed matters of national interest with the Governor.

 "I had the pleasure of receiving a visit from Governor of Msa county @HassanAliJoho at my home in Kilifi County."

"He came to wish me well as I continue to recuperate. We discussed matters of national interest, in particular, nation building, investment & fostering cooperation," Kirubi added.

The visit comes days after Opposition leader Raila Odinga also visited Kirubi at his home in Nairobi on Tuesday. "This morning I visited Chris Kirubi who has recently returned from overseas where he had gone for medical treatment. It was great to see him in high spirits and we wish him all the best as he continues with his recovery," Raila said in a social media post.

The industrialist returned to the country in March from the United States where he had flown for specialized medical treatment in November last year.
