Stand off as Uhuru is set to open market already opened by Joho

March 11th, 2017

- Joho and Uhuru are also planning to hold parallel rallies in Mombasa, on Sunday, March 12

President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to continue with his coastal tour on Saturday, March 11 despite resistance by Mombasa governor Hassan Joho and his Kilifi counterpart Amason Kingi.

Uhuru plans to open market opened by Joho

He is set to receive ODM defectors and officially open the Kongowea market which was opened on Friday, March 10 by Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.

"I relocated 2,200 micro-traders that used to operate on the roadside within the Kongowea market to new table stalls that have been constructed by the County Government through the department of Trade," he said.

Uhuru plans to open market opened by Joho
Joho oversaw the relocation of the traders in the market which has been the subject of a tussle between him and Uhuru since 2016.

In June, 2016, the two leaders ordered the speedy rehabilitation of the market with claims emerging Joho wanted to open it first before Uhuru from taking credit of devolved functions.

In January, 2017, Uhuru accused the county govt of stalling the allocation of stalls as an attempt by some leaders to sabotage upgrades his government had commissioned.
Joho and Kingi dismissed Uhuru’s visit in the region and accused Jubilee of politicking and riding on donor-funded projects instead of launching tangible programmes in the region.

A major stand-off is also expected on Sunday, March 12 as the two leaders have organised major rallies on the same day.

Voters went to the polls yesterday to elect a brand new figurehead for Greater Manchester Greater Manchester will today find out who is to become its first-ever elected mayor. Voters across the region went to the polls yesterday to elect a brand new figurehead – in charge of just under £1bn in public spending and with considerable influence over a range of issues. Last night each town hall in the region checked and verified all the votes cast, ahead of a count today at Manchester Central conference centre. That starts at midday and is likely to continue until late afternoon or early evening, when a final result will be declared. Eight candidates went for the role of elected mayor in a race prompted by the wave of devolution granted by the government three years ago.

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi...
