Mombasa County Governor Hassan Joho has blasted Deputy President William Ruto and his allies on their remarks to have a political party from the coastal region. In a statement on Sunday, Joho, who is also the ODM party Deputy leader said that Ruto has undermined the development in the coastal area. He said that the move to push for a new party to unite the coastal region is not a new thing and is only meant to benefit a few individuals who are close to the DP. “Formation of a new party will only serve to divide the people further r and undermine the unity that the region has enjoyed in ODM and which has enabled them to push our agenda as a united region on the national stage,” Joho said. His remarks come after Coast MPs allied to Ruto disclosed a plan to hasten the formation of a regional party to completely lockout ODM from the region.
