A video of Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho controlling traffic in Mombasa has excited netizens.
The undated clip shows the governor, who was dressed in a reflector jacket, a white cap, blue pair of jeans and white shoes, flagging down vehicles along a busy street.
Joho is seen chatting with some of the motorists before allowing them to proceed.
While some dismissed the move as a 'cheap publicity stunt' and asked him to fix the traffic jam mess that has become synonymous with the coastal city, others hailed the second-term governor for his humility.
Yusuf Shalle wrote, "Is this what he wants to do after 2022?"
Ivan Lalaikipan posted, "This is so unnecessary. Politicians think they are experts in every field."
Kevin Mungai tweeted, "Big up Hassan Joho. You are a good example to other governors."
This video emerged barely a week after the ODM Deputy Party Leader was caught on tape dancing alongside Likoni MP Mishi Mboko.
The two leaders were seen dancing to Ali Kiba's song dubbed Kadogo while on top of a parked vehicle.
People who were around them didn't seem to mind as they cheered on.
