Mombasa Governor, Ali Hassan Joho, has said that he doesn’t fear being arrested after he refused to return one of his firearms as ordered by the police.
On Saturday, Interior Coordination Cabinet Secretary, Joseph Nkaissery, warned the arrogant Governor that he will be arrested if he does not return all firearms in his possession immediately.
But Joho dared Nkaissery saying that he doesn’t fear being arrested while fighting for his rights.
He said he was elected by Mombasa residents as their Governor and he has a constitutional right to posses a gun like other Governors and State officers.
The Governor, who was speaking to journalists in Mombasa, said President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, should accept that they lost the Malindi by election and move on instead of frustrating him.
He said if the police arrest him, his supporters across Kenya will be incensed and this will not end well especially in Mombasa.
“Nkaissery, please don’t joke with Mombasa residents,” Joho said.
