The two lovebirds exchanged their vows at the Methodist church opposite Tononoka Hall before heading to Bahari Gates Hotel for the reception.

Mombasa Deputy Governor Dr William Kingi and other top county officials including chief officers and Directors also attended the blissful wedding.

Juney's colleagues from KBC and other media houses were also in attendance.

In his speech Joho revealed his close relationship with the late Karisa Maitha's family.

"It is Karisa Maitha who helped me get my first contract at KPA. He took me straight to the then Managing Director Brown Ondego's office and ordered him to make sure that I get a supply contract. My political journey also began from there." said Joho

Adding "There is a time I was forced to use the first car that my elder brother had just bought a peugeot 504 to bail him (Karisa Maitha) out from a court case that he was facing."

According to a source, Joho gifted the couple with a cheque whose details are only known to him.

"He gave them a bank cheque sealed in an envelope with clear instruction that no one should open it except the bridegroom, Patrick. He also did not want it to be announced like other presents." said the source.
