Former Mombasa County Governor Ali Hassan Joho is known for being vocal and controversial. He was once a stouch critic of President Dr William Samoei Arap Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza Alliance Government.
But ever since he was rewarded with a Cabinet Secretay position, his firm stand against President Ruto changed drastically.
Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Hassan Joho has publicly declared unreserved political loyalty to President William Ruto, emphasizing that the Mt. Kenya region has received unprecedented development backing from the current administration.
Addressing a public gathering in central Kenya, Joho directly reminded local leaders and residents of the extensive national government investments channeled into the region.
The Mining CS listed major infrastructural projects, including road networks, modern market structures, educational facilities, and affordable housing initiatives, as tangible evidence of the President’s commitment to the regional economy.
Joho pointedly addressed local political figures who have voiced grievances regarding government allocation, asserting that claims of marginalization are entirely disconnected from the reality on the ground.
He stressed that the sheer volume of completed and ongoing public works in Mt. Kenya clearly demonstrates that the administration has consistently prioritized the region’s socio-economic development.
The former Mombasa Governor urged regional political actors to abandon persistent political hostility and instead foster a cooperative relationship with the national executive.
He noted that continuous political agitation against the President risks undermining future development programs and destabilizing national unity.
Joho reaffirmed that leaders from outside the region, including those from the Coast, clearly observe and appreciate the immense resources directed toward central Kenya under Ruto’s leadership.
Joho’s remarks come amidst heightened political tensions and shifting alliances within the broad-based government structure.
By taking a firm stand in defense of the President’s track record, the CS signaled a coordinated cabinet strategy to safeguard government achievements and counter narrative drives by critical regional leaders.
He called on Mt. Kenya residents to stand with the President, appreciate the transformative development already delivered, and support the broader national unity agenda moving forward.
