The government yesterday dismissed claims there is a plot to assassinate Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho. Early this week, the governor accused the state of planning to assassinate him, his supporters and some opposition leaders. Joho said he kicked out state-provided security officers because they had been sent to “plant illegal substances” and guns at his home and later incriminate him. Joho made the claim during the launch of voter registration in Treasury Square on Monday. Joho said he is going through a tough time for being a Jubilee administration critic.
