Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has now claimed that his life is in danger after President Uhuru Kenyatta threatened him.

This is after the Head of State, during the launch of Mtongwe ferry services on Monday, warned the Governor that he would deal with him if he continued interfering with his work. "Joho should stop following me. I am not his wife. He should come here and explain what he has done for this country... He should not play with us, if he plays with us we will teach him a lesson," the Head of State affirmed.

Speaking on Tuesday, Joho alleged that the president's warning was a direct threat to him adding that he now feared for his life."The President said he will deal with me. This means anything can happen to me. It is a direct threat and it is not easy to handle a direct threat from a head of state," Joho was quoted by the Standard. The Governor stated that he was more concerned about Kenyatta's threat but noted that it would not stop him from speaking the truth about the Jubilee administration. He also disputed Kenyatta's allegations that Mombasa County had received Sh40 billion from the national government instead putting the amount at Sh17 Billion and producing documents as evidence. On Monday, Joho was barred by GSU offices from attending the presidents relaunch of mtongwe ferry services.
