UGLIEST Politics EVER! Sonko And Mombasa Governor Almost Exchange Blows In The Presence Of President Uhuru Kenyatta (Video)

I thought the era of immature politics was over with previous regimes but what transpired in Mombasa proved politicians are still grooming childish behaviors.

Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko, and Mombasa Governor, Ali Hassan Joho, faced off at a public function in Mombasa on Saturday 9th January 2015.

The sole purpose of the event was to issue title deeds to people occupying the controversial Waitiki land in Likoni, Mombasa.

Joho used the opportunity to bash President Uhuru claiming the head of State had intentionally snubbed him going on to invite other governors from the Coast to State house Mombasa.

He said the President was in his county close to two weeks yet he hadn’t communicated to him over his presence in Mombasa.

“Sasa unapata mweshimiwa rais come to this great County, unakaa 16 days the Governor hasn’t spoken to you, ahhh! Mweshimiwa rais, that’s not fair!” Joho bitterly protested.

The Mombasa Governor went on to fire more salvos to the President prompting Sonko to come up with a protective armor to shield Uhuru from Joho’s tantrums.

Sonko fired back at Joho when he took to the podium. He claimed the Mombasa sheriff harassed and humiliated the President who is a symbol of national unity.

When he could no longer tolerate Sonko’s smacking, infuriated Joho stood up to stop the Nairobi Senator and for a moment exchange of blows was inevitable. Sonko urged Joho to allow him to finish talking and the Mombasa Governor did just that and another ugly scenario was avoided.

“I cannot therefore sit back and watch people acting as if they’re more important than a democratically elected President when they are clearly only out to blackmail, embarrass and intimidate the President in public. Of course, people can disagree with the President on policy issues but, why can’t the opposition respect the Office of the Presidency?” Sonko wrote in part justifying his action to hit back at Joho.
