On Monday, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Samoei Ruto were at the Kenyan Coast launching Coast guard marine service. The event that was held in Mombasa attracted different leaders from the region, among them governors, but did you see the Kilifi governor Amason Jeffer Kingi?

His  trip to Belgium for an international conference has not ended so well for him to an extend that he missed  presidential commissioning of the coast guard service.

According to Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho, it the Kilifi County boss had failed to turn up for the function because he was stuck outside the country.

Joho stated that it was unfortunate that Governor Kingi missed the event because of having lost his passport in Italy and could not travel to join the region’s leaders at the function.

“We have governors from the six coast region counties but I am also representing my friend Amason Kingi. It is surprising that even in this day he still lost his passport while in Italy. He has not been able to travel back,” stated Governor Joho.

According to a report by Kenyans.co.ke, Kingi  left the country for Belgium. The site reported that Kingi’s office could not confirm whether the governor had indeed lost the passport while abroad or not.

“The governor left the country to attend a conference in Belgium. We are expecting him back anytime from now,” stated Charles Nyiro, the governor’s communications director.

Governor Joho had lauded the launch of the coast guard service, saying the initiative would transform the region.

“After the launch of this service, the coast will not be the same again. It has always remained to be a story from the day the idea was conceived but now it has materialised. This is real change,” stated Governor Joho.

Do you think the governor really lost his passport or this was just a plot for him to skip the important presidential function?
