Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho has sued Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya and the latter's Deputy Fatuma Achani for defamation in a dramatic escalation of the fallout between the two governors.
Mvurya who was elected on the Orange Democratic Movement ODM where Joho is a deputy party leader defected to Jubilee late last year is poised to face a challenge for the gubernatorial seat from former Cabinet Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere who has left the ruling coalition for the opposition.
