Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi dumps Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho to Deputy president William Ruto openly in Malindi when DP Ruto visited the flood displaced people in Magarini, Kilifi county.



Governor Kingi quoted that the county has moved in to work with the government so as to bring developments in the county.  The Governor Hassan Johos' bid for statehouse was declared unfit as the Deputy President and Gideon Moi are also competing for the same post. 


"We are behind you, we will support you until 2022. We are at the back to push you to the statehouse. Kenya needs to change and work together. Developments are scarce and we are saying we are one. Why the scarcity of the developments? " Kingi said.


"We are going to have a big campaign for you to get to the statehouse. Kenya needs to move forward and consolidate developments for all. We have been left behind because of our political differences since independence. " Likoni Mp  Hon. Mishi Mboko said.
