Governor Joho is the new icon in town after fighting tough battle with the government. After the government failed to drag the governor on their side, they decided to rough him up.
It all started with Fight against drugs at the coast region started long time ago since illegal drugs have been finding their way into the country through the mega port in the region. Joho has allegedly been dealing with illegal drugs. When the government of Kenya, in the regime of President Kenyatta, started the war against illegal drugs, they thought they were fighting governor 001. When this could not take him down another idea was brought on board. It was alleged that 001 has not been filling taxes with the KRA, which led to freezing of his six accounts. This was done intentionally to limit his movement especially during this time of campaign. When this could not cool down the staunch ODM deputy party leader, things escalated to a whole new level and the peak was when the governor questioned president Uhuru development record in the Coast region. This angered the president so much that he plotted the down fall of governor. When president Uhuru was commissioning the Mombasa port terminus, governor 001 was locked out of the event. It was alleged that the governor had planned to disrupt the presidential event, something that led to the governor being held office arrest for that entire day. The Mombasa port is a devolved function and denying the sitting governor from attending such an event is going against the constitution and failing to support devolution. Blocking Joho from attending the event made him stronger and better and therefore those who plotted that truancy felt they needed a stronger blow. And this time coffee was served hotter than before. Digging was done on Joho’s record and a lop hole was established. It was alleged that the Masters student at the University of Nairobi scored a mere D- in KCSE. In the Kenya education system you cannot do a degree program if you scored less than a C+ in KCSE. Therefore they alleged that the MBA student joined University of Nairobi as undergraduate with fake KCSE certificates. This rose the political temperatures in the country and more so among the normal mwanainchi. The political heat in the coast region portrayed the fighter character of the former member of parliament of kisauni constituency. The ugly situation made 001 better and Kenyans bitter with the government. Mombasa residents protested on the streets shouting slogans against the government and in solidarity of their Governor. Does good grades translate to good leadership?, probably this is a topic that could take a century to conclude, but if a E student can built roads and manage a county effectively and wisely than I bet it is worthy to vote for such. Again am not standing against education. Joho is a legend and an inspiration to many Kenyans. Our grades should not limit us and no one should judge us according to what we scored in KCSE.
