Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho is edging out perceived threats from his camp as he prepares to face a tough contest in the August polls. The MCAs are Riziki Fundi (Bamburi), Jabez Oduor (Kongowea), Dan Onyango (Mikindani), Khamisi Mwabashiri (Mjambere) and Caroline Owino (nominated). This will not only be a do-or-die race for Governor Joho but also a determinant of his political future with 2022 in mind. The Star has learnt that orders to expel the MCAs from all committees was aimed at shelving “external interference”. ODM claims the MCAs have been flirting with Joho’s rivals, a move that reportedly angered the governor.
