Deputy President William Ruto’s ally Hassan Omar has dismissed Suleiman Shahbal as an emissary of powerful people in Nairobi seeking to control the county. The former Mombasa senator on Saturday said Shahbal would not serve the interests of the people of Mombasa should he become the governor. Speaking at his Renaissance Centre offices in Mombasa, Omar said Mombasa residents do not want to undergo another period of suffering like they have for the last eight years. He said Mombasa residents will defeat all the plans they have and take over the management of their own affairs. Let him insult people while we work for the people of Mombasa,” said Shahbal through his aide Idris Abdulrahman on Sunday.
