Former Mombasa governor Hassan Joho finds himself in a delicate situation following Raila’s defeat in the August 9th polls. Recent reports indicate that government authorities have revoked contracts and leases previously granted to his companies at the Port of Mombasa. The cancellation of these contracts, valued at billions of shillings, has left Joho and his family bewildered. Some of the agreements pertained to transporting containers to landlocked countries like South Sudan.
Joho has chosen to remain distant due to concerns about potential reprisals from the state, given his active campaigning for Raila during the elections. Despite his efforts, it’s evident that the government is not inclined to extend favorable treatment to him under the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Hassan Joho had been a vocal opponent of President Ruto and his allies, but the dynamics have shifted since the elections. Those who opposed Ruto’s candidacy are now grappling with significant setbacks, a mere year after the polls. Notably, even former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s business interests face threats in light of the strategies being pursued by Ruto’s faction.
