Mombasa County Governor has now sued four legislators ammong them Nandi Governor Stephen Sang, Oscar Sudi, Kimani Ichung’wah and Didmus Barasa for what he termed as defermation.
The four had had linked Governor Joho of drug trafficking further claiming Joho’s name was in a list tabled in Parliament by the late George Saitoti in 2010 as well as a list of six names, which the then US ambassador Michael Ranneberger had given to the then Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission.
This came after Governor Sang insisted that the government should come out clear on the owner of the heroin ship that was blown up in Mombasa in 2014.
Joho further said ,they have maliciously and callously used falsehoods, gossip and slanderous language to maximise hatred against him.
He further said he has never been indicted for a drugs-related offence or raded in illicit drugs and narcotics, as alleged by the accused.
Sang said information on the ship’s owner will vindicate him. “It will accelerate the fight against trafficking by promoting a society that is well informed, vigilant and protective of current and future generations.” Omari said.
Sang has written to the EACC, Uhuru, CSs Rachel Omamo and Fred Matiang’i and DCI and the IG.
