The looming expulsion of Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa and her Msambweni Counterpart Suleiman Dori has caused some sort of political storm in Opposition Camp ODM.
Claims of betrayal and ruthlessness have marred the whole expulsion saga with Jumwa and Dori claiming that they were not given a fair hearing. The duo have also time and again claimed that Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho is behind their now never ending woes.
Joho has been silent for sometime, choosing to ignore whatever was coming from the duo’s camp that also includes Nyali MP and a strong Joho critic Mohammed Ali alias Jicho Pevo.
The Mombasa Governor seemingly having grown tired of the ranting has now come out to clear the air on all the allegations labelled against him.
Joho said the legislators were DP Ruto’s agents and dared him (Ruto) to come out and speak for himself.
“I know they have been sent by their master, William Ruto. So I want to tell William Ruto not to send his people. Come out and talk,” he said.
Jumwa and Dori are facing ouster from ODM after they allegedly defied the party and publicly supported Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.
On the upcoming Embakasi South By-elections,just a week after Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyioka asked the ODM, a partner in the Nasa coalition to withdraw their candidate their candidate from the race, Joho said that the Raila Odinga-led party will not not heed to Kalonzo’s call and asked Wiper to be prepared for a real contest in the by-election.
“They should be prepared because politics is a game we known and we have the people with us. So we will meet in the field. Let them prepare well because we are also prepared,” Joho said.
