Senior Counsel Ahmednsir Abdullahi has said that the ruling Jubilee party killed Mombasa’s economy because they hated governor Hassan Ali Joho.
His statement follows the demonstrations that were staged in Mombasa on Monday following what the residents argued that Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has spelled doom on the region’s economy.
With the coming of SGR, all cargo is supposed to be transported by the railway line, denying job opportunities to road transporters.
Ahmednasir now claims that since Jubilee is now in love with governor Joho due to the handshake between Prrsident Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition chief Raila Odinga, a marshal plan should be done to revive Mombasa’s economy.
The senior counsel further says that the plan should be named Sultan Joho plan.
“JUBILEE KILLED Mombasa because once upon a time they hated/didn’t like Sultan @HassanAliJoho. Now that JUBILEE is MADLY in LOVE with Sultan Joho, please do a Marshall plan to revive Mombasa….call it SULTAN JOHO Plan,” he posted.
The demonstration, which started at Makupa round about to Changamwe round about in Mombasa west, caused a jam between the Island and Mombasa mainland.
The demonstrators carrying placards castigating Kenya Ports Authority, Kenya Revenue Authority officials and a minister walked over 10 kilometres as they sang songs against the government.
As the demonstration continued, the truck drivers hooted as a sign of solidarity while road construction workers also abandoned their works to cheer demonstrators.
