Do you believe that Mombasa Governor and ODM Deputy Party Ali Hassan Joho is a drug barron?
Well, there have been claims by a section of politicians in the ruling Jubilee Party that Joho alongside other Politicians and businessmen are engaged in drug trafficking and that that is where his wealth actually comes from.
Joho on the other hand has often denied these claims and has often affirmed that his wealth is as a result of his hardwork.
Last week, the drug trafficking allegations surfaced again with Nandi Governor Stephen Sang, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Kimani Ichung’wah of Kikuyu all claiming that Joho is a drug peddler.
The trio’s claims seemingly did not go well with Governor Joho who has now filed a suit in Court against them.
Following the suit, Mr. Sudi, Mr. Sang and Mr. Ichung’wah are now required to appear at the Milimani Law Courts within 15 days.
“Should you fail to enter an appearance within the time mentioned above, the Plaintiff may proceed with the suit and judgement may be given in your absence,” read the court papers.
“You may appear in this suit by entering an appearance either personally or by duly appointed advocates.”
Governor Joho on Sunday asked the Jubilee leaders to apologise to him within 24 hours after the leaders led by Governor Sang accused him of misleading the country on the handshake and “destroying many youth through the drug business that he runs.”
The trio, however, maintained their stand with Mr. Sudi, while addressing a press conference on the same day, urging Joho to instead apologise to Kenyans and the people of Mombasa for engaging in “unlawful” business.
