| Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho during a recent Cord press conference. |
In 2014, an intelligence report was released and shared between the CIA and the Kenya National Intelligence Service (NIS) linking Joho, his family and the Akasha's to serious drug trafficking and illegal activities at the coast in the tunes of billions.
In August 2015, Nelson Marwa working with Naval patrol forces intercepted the first ship associated to Joho, ferrying 370.8kg of heroine, worth about 1.3 billions. This really aggravated Cord's anger towards the government. (This money was meant to fund the Okoa Kenya referendum).
President Kenyatta then leaves for Mombasa, and witnesses the sinking of the ship into the sea later in 2015, (Okoa Kenya referendum begins to flop).
Late 2015, Nelson Marwa raised alarm into the activities of leaders in the coast who seem to be colluding with Joho in his illegal business.
President Kenyatta called for a meeting, he immediately sacked the managing director Gichiri Ndua, general manager for operations Twalib Khamisi, general manager for board and legal services Muthoni Gatere, general manager for corporate services Justis Nyarandi and head of security Mohamed Morowa Coast DCI Regional Commander Henry Ondieki got transferred to
Nairobi while Mombasa Port OCPD Zacheaous Ngeno was also sacked. (This left Joho even more naked, as the staff colluding with him had all been dismissed by President Kenyatta).
Thursday, Jan 7th 2016, President Kenyatta made an impromptu visit to Kenya Ferry services after a tip off that this was another channel for Joho's continued 'impunity'
At the visit, President Uhuru immediately sacks The Kenya Ferry Services (KFS) Managing Director Musa Hassan Musa, head of engineering services Amos Nyadero and operations boss Anthony Madzungu.
On Feb 10th, 2016, the government, led by Nelson Marwa and his team detects more illegal activities in Joho's clearing and forwarding companies, and to fix him up, Interior CS, Joseph Nkaiserry announces that. “All cargo will from now on, be cleared at the Mombasa port and not at container terminals"
Since all the corrupt staff around Joho at the Mombasa port had been sacked or transferred, the government successfully seized 39 containers which were stuffed with sugar, 64 with ethanol and 50 with rice, associated with Joho's CF company, estimated to be worth more than half a billion.
President Uhuru again flew to Coast, at the Mwakirunge dumping site, Mombasa, where he himself witnessed the destroying of the counterfeit goods, associated with Joho family.
Last week, Nelson Marwa influences action for the final assault on Joho. Joho's security guards were
withdrawn, hours later, the Firearms Chief Licensing Officer, gives another order revoking all the firearms assigned to him(Joho).
This has been the most powerful fight the head of state and Nelson Marwa have taken against 'a prominent suspect in drug trafficking and illegal trade.' It is assumed that Joho was using his dirty deals to finance Cord's rising aggression.
Luckily the President' knew where to cut from. But has he done right? Is Joho really into drug trafficking and illegal trade? If there is no prejudice or malice then It's good to appreciate that the
President is working hard behind the scenes. It's just prudent you look for information. I just hope that this is meant for the good of the nation as opposed to scoring selfish individual political goals.
Now you understand the war between Marwa, Uhuru Kenyatta, Ali Hassan Joho and the entire Cord family.
If you have ever watched those action movies where drugs and illegal trade is involved... You may easily
understand this whole saga.
My hope is that this 'Fight against illegal Trade' will not end with Joho's saga but will be enhanced and used to deal with the other illegal traders,Poachers,drug dealers and all corrupt state officials starting with Ms. Anne Waiguru.
I'm sincerely hoping that the government is not trying to intimidate and blackmail Ali Hassan Joho or settle political sores with him.
