Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has asked Kenyans to be careful over what he terms as politics of whipping up emotions being propagated by Deputy President William Ruto.

Speaking during the official launch of the Mombasa early childhood robotics programs at Buxton estate, Joho accused Ruto of being deceitful and trying to divide Kenyans, saying he cannot be trusted.

"You have someone who has been the Deputy President for eight years and he is now coming back to you trying to tell you that your worth is only a wheelbarrow, are you even serious" said Joho.

Adding" We need leaders who can help us solve our problems but not reminding us how poor we are''.

Joho also accused Ruto of trying to mock Kenyans through his style of politics.

Joho charged "Let us open our ears, let us open our eyes. They are trying to mock us. Why would someone go all over the country trying to remind people that they are poor".

The ODM Deputy party leader further stated that his 2022 presidential ambition is unstoppable lashing out at his critics.

"You are judging me because my only crime is being born in Mombasa, Am I not a Kenyan like any other Kenyan?!. This time round we are also going to be counted in the presidential ballot, just watch this space" charged Joho.

His sentiments were echoed by Mvita Mp Abdulswamad Nassir who also attacked Deputy President William Ruto over his style of politics.

"You have been in the government for all those years and you have just realised now that there are mama mbogas, watu wa mkokoteni in Kenya. What were you doing all those years?!" posed Nassir.

Nassir called on other Coast leaders to rally behind Governor Hassan Joho and support his presidential ambition.

"For a very long we have been used as the pillars, let them now become the pillars as we go up" he said.
