Joho resurfaces at Ali Kiba’s wedding after leaving Mombasa ‘in limbo’

Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho resurfaced at the wedding of musician Ali Kiba, weeks after residents complained he had left them in limbo.

Joho is an outspoken politician so his absence did not go unnoticed.

Sources close to him said he visitedย France, Spain and Australia since leaving the county inย  March. They said he isย trying to re-energiseย and re-strategise politically.

He is the Deputy Leader of ODM party, whose leader Raila Odinga got into a unity deal with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The Governor was spotted on Thursday at theย wedding ofย Tanzanian Kiba at Masjid Ummu Kulthum in Mombasa.

Kibaย will wedย his Kenyan fiancรƒยฉe, Amina Rikesh, whom he has datedย since 2016.

During Joho’s absence, CECs grumbled over lack of โ€˜properโ€™ accommodation and office space and factional fights over the transfer of sub-county or ward administrators also ensued.

Critics, including Amani National Congress members, said the county is doomed following the Governor’s prolonged absence.

Critics had piled pressure on Joho, asking him to end his โ€œhoneymoonโ€ abroad and return to serve the people.

But Joho’s administration dismissed the “attention-seekers who want to make a name by attacking the him”, one of them beingย Jubilee Party activist Abdi Daib.

On March 31, Daibย said the Governor left the county on โ€œauto-pilot modeโ€ so things are “not moving at all”.

He had given Joho a two-week ultimatum to return.
