On the other hand Uhuru overreacted. He also needs to weigh his words - pork is a powerful position.
Those words of his are likely to be interpreted in ways that may be unsettling.
Explain to me in clear english.."They have made it clear they do not want you there"
It has been clear, but of course we can choose to ‘see’ otherwise if it suits us – and that is the tragedy of our politics – followers who choose to hear or see no evil on their side yet have no qualms claiming the moral high ground to criticise the other side.
The attitude from Joho is toxic. For ‘our’ convenience we can feign ignorance but that does not change nor help matters.
All the grandstanding, chest thumping and juvenile taunts of “mtu mdogo sana”.
I venture that due to his attitude Uhuru men have elected to leave him out of their functions - you do plan you function then entertain an element which runs counter to what you are trying to advance.
We all remember Joho lamenting - around Dec of 2015 how Uhuru was in Mombasa yet he had not been apprised to go and just shake his hand!
Then came the physical tussle between him and Sonko.
Then came the unnecessary confrontation at the launching of some projects.
Then came the taunts on drug baron allegations.
Lets even forget about who is wrong and who is right, if two people are so opposed to each other, then the civilised thing is not to attend each other’s functions. Then one insisting on going, - even where history shows that whenever he goes trouble ensues – is the aggressor.
Nothing stops Joho from going to the spot separately to launch the project if he feels so strongly about it. He could have done it prior of after and score his political points – but insisting on gate-crashing into someone else’s function…..
Just a day before this drama, Joho and Co had planned a parallel rally in Mombasa to counter Uhurus, and kept drumming it up till a day prior, even though all along they were cautioned against such behavior.
Even if Joho didn’t have any other issues weighing on his name such as the damaging drug allegations, this affinity for confrontation that he continues to display is itself uncivilized and objectionable.
