The government withdrew police officers attached to Mombasa governor Hassan Joho after he told president Uhuru to his face that he was hijacking development projects at the coast.

The government ordered police protecting Joho to immediately surrender their firearms to the nearest police station in Mombasa.
The state later reinstated Joho’s security explaining that the withdrawal was aimed at restructuring police guarding governors.
Addressing delegates in the opposition rally at Bomas of Kenya on Wednesday January 11th, Joho said he didn’t need state protection.
“I am the happiest man on earth, I drove myself to this venue and will drive myself home. Jubilee can stay with their security,” Joho spoke.
True to his word, Joho locked out police officers deployed to guard his residence in Nyali. Media reports claim that the officers were chased away when they arrived at Joho’s house to carry on with their duty.
Joho’s communications director Richard Chacha revealed the governor vacated his residence over safety concerns after the government withdrew his security.
“Let them knock and ask who the new occupants are… Joho has already hired another team for his new home,” Richard Chacha said.
