If you have evidence against Joho in Akasha case step forward- ODM MPs dare colleagues

Three Orange Democratic Movement lawmakers have dared politicians who have evidence that can link Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho with the Akasha brothers to step forward.

Speaking at Paliament buildings on Wednesday, MPs Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir (Mvita), Babu Owino (Embakasi East) and Mishi Mboko (Likoni) defended Governor Joho against critics.

"We are daring them if they have any evidence to provide to the police," Abdulswamad stated.

"If they are afraid of the police they can talk to you (media) so that you can talk to the police that governor Joho is involved in any illegality," he added.

U.S connections

Abdulswamad said that Joho has been travelling to the United States since Mombasa County has partnerships with the City of Seattle in America.

The presser comes days after Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa accused Governor Joho of being behind her tribulations in the ODM party.

Jumwa had claimed that the Mombasa County boss was out to frustrate her politically and vowed to stand up for herself.

Political rivalry

ODM party's disciplinary committee recommended that Jumwa be expelled her from the party a decision continues to elicit conflicting reactions in Malindi constituency.
