Will the talks surrounding Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking cease anytime soon?
DP William Ruto’s allies, among them Nandi Governor Stephen Sang and MPs Oscar Sudi (Kapseret), Didmus Barasa (Kimilili) and Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu) have been linking Joho to the illicit trade for sometime now with these allegations now threatening to even break the handshake.
A Section of NASA MPs have now come out blazing guns and have viciously defended Joho from what they termed as malicious allegations and political witch-hunt.
The leaders among them Minority Whip Junet Mohamed accused Deputy President William Ruto of being behind the attacks targeted at Joho. They spoke during a press conference at Parliament Buildings,
“We are tired of having to continuously respond to these drugs accusations. These old and tired accusations have been overtaken by events,” Junet said.
The NASA legislators said the people attacking Joho are idle.
“In fact, Joho has written to Interpol on the issue. Let them substantiate those allegations that they are making,” Junet said.
The Suna East MP said Joho’s critics made the accusations because President Uhuru Kenyatta had stopped the Tanga Tanga team from going around the country to launch projects.
“They were going around launching fake projects. But after the Executive Order… members of the group are idle that is why they have time to malign other leaders who are busy serving Kenyans,” he said.
“The Tanga Tanga movement is a doomed voyage and a lost cause… every time the movement lacks an agenda to sell for 2022, they resort to maligning others.”
Among the leaders present were Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga, Saboti MP Caleb Hamisi, Kwale Senator Issa Juma Boy and Nominate MP Godfrey Otsotsi.
