This could be one of those rare moments Kenyans will talk about for the next few days after Deputy President William Ruto and Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho shook hands during the visit of Uganda President Yoweri Musevei.
The DP who accompanied President Kenyatta in Mombasa County was seen in in close touch with Governor Joho and as we all know the tow have not been seeing eye to eye politically.
The three leaders were ushering in visiting Uganda President Yoweri Museveni who is in a two days official tour to the Kenyan Coast.
Through his twitter page Joho wrote saying, “It is my privilege and that of County 001 to host Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. I joined President H.E Uhuru Kenyatta in welcoming H.E @KagutaMuseveni at Moi International Airport, Mombasa,”

Joho and Ruto are known for rosating each other during their political rallies.
Just recently the governor accused the DP of mega corruption scandals further claiming that his leader Raila Odinga has asked him to make sure that he destroys Ruto’s ambitions for 2022.
The two leaders are however eyeing for the 2022 presidential seat with Joho confidently declaring that he is capable of beating Ruto at his game and will do so.
