Joho’s claims that Jubilee is after his life just populist

A day after the police blocked him from attending a presidential function, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho addressed a press conference and claimed his life was in danger. He alleged that President Uhuru Kenyatta was after his life. He revisited the remarks by President Kenyatta during the launch of Mtongwe Ferry Services. “Uhuru threatened me and I am not taking this lightly.“

Two days later, Joho alleged that six armed men stormed into one of his Nyali residences. He told the media he had recorded a statement with the police over the matter.
