Why is Uhuru campaigning for Joho ? I know the president has some smart advisors so I don't think the obsession with Joho is a blunder. Is there a plan to raise JoJo's profile ? To what end ?
Now Hassan Omar, the only incorruptible person I know, stands no chance to unseat Joho.
You know Kenyan politics doesn't fit a logical pattern.
Joho's biggest threat for the seat is Hassan Omar Sarai. Now this is one guy I know closely all the way from campus. He is 100% incorruptible. Joho has done zero for Mombasa.
My wild theory is simple. We know the guy running the govt is WSR. With an eye on 2022, you need to eliminate any possible threat in future. Having an incorruptible governor in the second largest county and a smart manager (PK) in Nairobi raises the leadership bar very high and will have most voters asking very difficult questions. That's why WSR would want a drug-crazed buffoon leading Nairobi. With Sonko and Joho, by 2022 our national values will have hit rock-bottom with no leaders inspiring hope.
At that point, we shall all be willing to ignore the deep stench of corruption surrounding WSR.
