Hassan Omar has been termed a Jubilee spy and accused of being insincere about his Mombasa governor bid.
Omar, who is Mombasa Senator and Wiper secretary general, has denied the allegations before but they keep resurfacing.
It has now been said that he has been holding secret meetings with Jubilee governor candidate Suleiman Shahbal.
Details are scanty but ODM Old Town MCA Murfad Amur claimed the Senator is being sponsored by President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto.
“The trick is to deny [incumbent Hassan] Joho a second term. He wants to divide votes and give candidates not affiliated to NASA easy wins.”
Joho made similar allegations on July 3 when he said his only worthy opponent is Shahbal.
“Our opponent is Jubilee, and if not Jubilee it is brokers of Jubilee. Some have ‘spoilt for us’. They came pretending to be our friends yet they have been sent by Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto,” he said.
“I have information one (Omar) has been sent by Ruto to come and disturb me here. I tell him, don’t allow yourself to be sent. Tell Ruto himself to come here.” Joho said.
But Omar refuted the claims that he is a mole planted by Jubilee to scuttle NASA campaigns in Mombasa.
Amur said Omar is using propaganda to diminish support for Joho.
“There are some people who want to please their sponsors. They are people who are vying but they have been held captive. If one decides to be his master’s servant, he will always give in to his master’s good or bad demands.”
Amur said Omar was the first one to fight the Governor immediately after he was sworn in.
“And this proves to us that since then, he has been Uhuru and Ruto’s mole,” he said on Sunday after he installed five CCTV cameras in his ward at a cost of Sh1.5 million.
Amur said Shalbal too, is not sincere about his bid
“Shahbla was with us in 2013. I campaigned for him while in Wiper. But he disappeared and returned during the campaign season. We are not fish to be trolled during casting season,” he said.
Nyali MP Hezron Awiti is the other candidate in the race for the Mombasa county chief post.
