DP Ruto Asks Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho to Take Advantage of Jubilee's Free Secondary Education

Deputy President William Ruto has asked Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho to take advantage of the Jubilee Government's free secondary education programme to go back to school.

DP Ruto made the comments at a rally in Frere Town, Nyali Constituency on Tuesday.

Ruto stated that the Governor's poor academic record was manifested in his understanding of issues, especially on the Naivasha Dry Port.

"Let no one cheat you that Jubilee wants to move the Indian Ocean to Naivasha. In Naivasha, we want to build an industrial city, like in Voi, Nairobi, Mombasa," Ruto stated.

He added, "That man calling himself Sultan should be told there is a big difference between the Industrial City we want to build in Naivasha and the Mombasa port."

"If he does not understand, there is free education from Standard 1 to Form 4. Let him stop shaming himself and go back to school so he can know the difference."

The DP’s sentiments were echoed by President Uhuru Kenyatta who stated that Joho was only looking for free publicity and sympathy votes by insulting him.

The President asked Joho to seek fame by constructing roads for residents and ensuring they have access to clean water.

"If he was a leader, we would have been competing on policies. But when you hear someone insulting you, it means they do not have policies to sell to the people," President Kenyatta stated.

"Let him clean this town. Let him seek fame by doing work that will help improve the lives of Mombasa residents."

The Jubilee presidential campaign team has been at the Coast on a vote hunting mission.
