Even when you fall sick and are admitted here, you would not like to hear all this noise,” Joho told the garage operators and mechanics. The garage owners have employed more than 2,000 people, a crucial vote block that the two politicians cannot afford to lose. Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir have to delicately balance the eviction of garage operators next to Mvita Clinic without losing their votes. The CDF committee is ready to set aside funds to build shelters for the garage workers in alternative areas, the lawmaker said. This is the second time Joho’s administration is looking to evict garage owners from residential areas.
