Hassan Joho has threatened to expose the President if he does not account for the extra Sh100 million for the SGR before its launch.
Joho, who is Mombasa Governor and ODM deputy leader, said he will storm the launch “as has happened before” if Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee administration does not give answers
The Governor accused Uhuru of “oiling the wheels of corruption at the expense of service delivery”.
“If they think they are going to get away with the SGR, the same way they got away with NYS after swindling our money , they are daydreaming,” he said in Siaya town on Monday when Senator James Orengo presented his nomination papers.
Joho reminded Kenyans that the Standard Gauge Railway project was budgeted for in the Grand Coalition Government under former President Mwai Kibaki and former PM Raila Odinga’s leadership.
“The project was to cost not more than Sh200 billion but the Jubilee government is telling us it has cost more than Sh300 billion. We deserve answers before the launch."
Two weeks ago, the President secured an additional $3.59 billion from China to extend SGR from Naivasha to Kisumu.
Before flying to China, Uhuru had phone conversations with Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni and Rwanda’s Paul Kagame on the possibility of the two countries extending the railway all the way to Kigali.
As a result, the three countries will send a joint team to Beijing to bid for more funding for SGR to reach Malaba and go on to Kampala and then Kigali.
Huyu susulite hoho tunajua vile tuna deal na yeye, he is free to try storm the launch. Once SGR cargo operations his family CFS will be out of business and all the smuggling, drugs will seize.

Joho thinks confrontation with the president is showing how good a leader is. His manifesto for re election is attacking the president. He has no development record and that’s how swahilis are in general. They love talk than facts. Tell them you met a a simple hate story and quote very powerful sources. They will listen and preach the same to their neighbors. I once wrote a simple thread about swahili nation logic and malaika filth came guns blazing.
But again if he starts monkeying on the launched sgr, he should be treated as a traitor na makende ifinywe vizuri.
