What you need to know:

  • Mr Mvurya is supporting independent candidate Feisal Bader, who is backed by Deputy President William Ruto.
  • When he landed in Kwale, Mr Joho said he will show DP Ruto “dust” ahead of the by-election.

 Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya is accusing his Mombasa counterpart Hassan Joho of making Msambweni a ‘combat zone’.

He says he will not allow his county to be used as a playground for dirty politics. “I’ve heard a lot of politics from ODM politicians. Some of the remarks are from my brother governors that they will come and camp here for combat. I wish to tell them that Kwale is home of civilised politics, not war,” Mr Mvurya said.
