Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has hit back at Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka following their recent remarks during a rally in Mombasa.
Speaking at the ODM Youth Convention in Malindi, Joho accused the two leaders of persistently dragging his name into their political campaigns instead of addressing key national issues.
“Rigathi Gachagua, answer the allegations about your late brother’s wealth. Stop talking about me,” Joho said.
He emphasized that the Coast region remains loyal to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), warning political rivals against using Mombasa as a stage for attacks.
“This is an ODM zone. You cannot come here and make me your topic in rallies,” he stated.
Joho also took a swipe at Kalonzo Musyoka, questioning his leadership track record and political relevance.
“Kalonzo, you can never get leadership in this country. Your time is long gone. You have always opposed me, and I have always defeated you,” he said.
He further challenged both leaders to account for their time in senior government roles.
“You have both been Deputy Presidents. What have you done for the people of Kenya?” Joho posed.
In a bold political declaration, the governor expressed readiness to face his rivals head-on while signaling his own presidential ambitions.
“I am ready to face both of you. Take this to the bank after William Ruto, I will be the next president of Kenya,” Joho declared.
The remarks underline intensifying political rivalries as leaders position themselves ahead of future elections, with the Coast region emerging as a key battleground
