Drama was witnessed in Parliament on Thursday, February 11, 2021 after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali alias Moha Jicho Pevu entered parliament chambers with a gun, causing panic.

Gem MP Odhiambo Elisha Ochieng was forced to rise up and raise the concern after realising that the journalist-turned politician was carrying a gun at his back.

“I have noticed a behaviour which is not of good conduct for a Member of Parliament. I am sure sure we operate under particular codes of behaviour within Parliament..am not aware that a Member of Parliament is allowed to walk inside here with a gun. I have noticed the honorable Ali is carrying something on his back, and that is a gun, then we are not safe,” said the Gem MP.

The issue got the attention of Speaker Justin Muturi, forcing Moha Jicho Pevu to stand up and apologise.

While giving his apologies to the MPs, Moha Jicho Pevu explained that he was prone to forgetting just like any normal human being.

He noted that he only forgot to leave outside the things he was carrying, and accepted to surrender the gun to the sergeant at arms.

He however condemned Hon Odhiambo for raising the matter before the house, arguing that the MP could have just approached him instead.

Moha Jicho Pevu however, maintained that the law allows Members of Parliament to apply for a licensed gun.

He further condemned the lawmakers for personalising the issue and making it a Tanga tanga affair.

Joho Renews His War Against Coast Elected Leaders as he Works on 2022 Lineup

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Mombasa governor Hassan Joho has reportedly renewed his war against Coast elected leaders.

According to a local daily, Joho is targeting leaders who are perceived to be supportive of Deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 Presidential bid.

Currently, Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya is under siege from hostile MCAs suspected to be under instructions of Joho through county speaker Sammy Ruwa.

Ruwa has been a longtime Joho sidekick and has also acted as his legal adviser in the past. He has been fronted for governor seat twice but rejected. He is speaker for a second term.

Towards the end of Mvurya’s first term, he has been a Ruto man. He has no time for Joho, insisting Kwale is not an extension of Mombasa county.

In the last general elections, Joho had vowed to ensure Mvurya was defeated at the ballot. But this was never to be after the Mombasa governor fell out with Chirau Mwakwere who was a sure bet against Mvurya on the then popular ODM ticket.

After Mwakwere bolted out of ODM to Wiper, Joho turned to little known Issa Chipera as party candidate. Chipera literally became minced meat for Mvurya who easily beat him and made a comeback on a Jubilee ticket.

Mvurya is grooming his deputy Fatuma Achani to succeed him in the next general election but observers say this is a tall order.

Joho on the other hand is reportedly pushing Crop Development PS Hamad Boga for the Kwale seat against Mvurya’s candidate and Mwakwere.

Another Ruto man on Joho’s radar is Kaloleni MP Paul Katana. Recently, the legislator was discharged as a member of the parliamentary investment committee in actions said to have the Mombasa governor’s hand.

Ironically, Katana was Joho’s PA when he served as Kisauni MP. But it appears other than fighting Katana for aligning himself with Ruto, he never wanted him to be MP in the first place.

In the 2013 general election when Katana first contested and lost to little known Gunga Mwinga, there were allegations that ODM insiders had rigged him out.

Currently, Joho is said to be financing the political activities of Mwinga to undermine Katana in the constituency. Katana has said severally that his cooperation with Ruto is because of the handshake between Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“I’m a loyal member of ODM with full respect to my party leader. I also support the handshake and that is why I have been working with DP Ruto to further development in my constituency,” the legislator was quoted as saying.

He has also said his cooperation with Ruto is not for selfish reasons but for the benefit of his constituents. He says the DP has presided over high profile funds drives towards public projects in his constituency.

The MP says some of the people fighting him have never assisted Kaloleni to move forward but wants leaders who can bootlick them.

Mohammed Ali of Nyali constituency and a close ally of the DP is another one whom Joho is scheming against. He is pushing his cousin Said Abdalla aka Saido against the Jicho Pevu.

Jicho Pevu’s recent rising political profile after he filed a motion to impeach transport CS James Macharia over chaos at Mombasa port has alarmed the Joho camp. In spite of the rejection of the motion by Speaker Justin Muturi, Ali has become a hero in Mombasa.

Last week, pro-Joho Mombasa MPs led by Mvita’s Abdulswamad Nassir were doing damage control. They toured the port and pleaded with the KPA management to put out a notice affirming that usage of SGR for containers upcountry was optional.

This was meant to cool the heat against them after residents began collecting signatures to recall them for failing to support Jicho Pevu motion.

Another Joho political foe Aisha Jumwa of Malindi constituency is politically wounded and the Mombasa governor no longer cares what she does or says. The Malindi MP’s self-inflicted woes have dimmed her 2022 Kilifi governor bid.

Speaker Muturi Deals Mohamed Ali a Major Blow in His Bid to Impeach CS Macharia

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Nyali MP Mohamed Ali has been dealt a major blow in his bid to impeach Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia.

This is after the speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi on Tuesday June 23, 2020 ruled that the journalist-turned politician’s motion did not meet the required threshold hence not admissible.

The MP while moving the impeachment motion against CS Macharia had accused him of three allegations. First, the lawmaker wants the CS impeached for gross violation of article 10 (1)(c) and 2(a) of the Kenyan constitution.

By failing to undertake public participation with leaders, stakeholders, or even departments within the ministry of transport in implementation of a policy decision to have cargo from Mombasa transported via Standard Gauge Railway, the MP said CS Macharia was in gross violation of the constitution.

He also accused the CS of gross misconduct contrary to the provisions of Article 125 of the Kenyan constitution. Mohamed Ali said CS Macharia has, in several meetings between him and parliamentary committees, appeared to commit perjury by lying under oath and giving evidence in parliament through provision of inaccurate information.

CS Macharia had also been accused of gross violation of Article 73 of the Kenyan constitution on leadership and integrity, by overseeing stalled projects worth Sh100 billion, overseeing loss of Sh1.5 billion housing project scandal and overseeing of the Sh5.2 billion Afya House scandal.

Moha had collected over 100 signatures in support of his motion, but some of the lawmakers that had signed the petition, later said that they were withdrawing their signatures, arguing that the lawmaker had ticked them that he was planning to take a loan.

Tanga Tanga MPs Abandon Their Colleague at Hour of Need, His Life Now in Danger

written by Mustafa Juma

Members of Parliament affiliated to Tanga Tanga faction of Jubilee party have abandoned their colleague at an hour of need.

Just a day after Nyali MP Mohamed Ali securing 90 signatures in a plot to impeach Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia, the MPs who had signed his petition have now come out to withdraw their signatures, leaving the MP on his own.

Speaking to journalists on Thursday June 18, the journalist-turned-politician said that the MPs seeking to withdraw their signatures had been intimidated.

He said that all the lawmakers from the Coast region had also abandoned him, and left him to fight on his own. The MP cited that his life is now in danger.

Moha Jicho Pevu also appealed to Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to furnish his home with additional security.

“Some of the Members of Parliament that you are seeing here have already been summoned by the DCI and KRA. 

“I want to say this, I want the Inspector General of Police to increase my security at home and in Parliament. I am dealing with a big fish. This fish must be named by all means,” stated the lawmaker.

He however, noted that once a member of Parliament appends a signature as per the standing order, he or she, cannot withdraw. 

“How do you sign without reading? I also want to assure you and tell you that the standing order is very clear that once a member of Parliament appends a signature, he or she, cannot withdraw. So no one can withdraw and the motion will proceed,” he said.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro said that Mohammed Ali’s purported bid to oust CS James Macharia is a hopeless endeavour wrapped in hullabaloo and petty imagination.

“Mohammed Ali’s purported bid to oust CS James Macharia is a hopeless endeavour wrapped in hullabaloo and petty imagination. Zero content, can’t pass the threshold. Tuache CS afanye kazi bila fitina. We are African and Africa is our Business,” he said.

The Nyali MP on Tuesday June 16 said that he had finally tabled the motion after managing to meet the required threshold.

“Today I can confirm that I have tabled my petition to impeach CS James Macharia with 90 supporting signatures which is more than the threshold,” he posted.

Stalled projects worth Ksh100 billion and the Ksh5 billion scandal that hit Afya House during his tenure as Health CS are among the reasons cited in his impeachment motion.

The MP also said that the CS has also violated Article 73 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

On Friday last week, the Nyali MP said he had decided to do so for the people of Mombasa, who are doomed to serious economic loss because of CS Macharia’s actions in forcing through patently illegal actions to prop up the profitability of the SGR.

Coast MPs however, issued a statement on Thursday explaining that they had ironed out transport issues, especially the Standard Gauge Railway cargo hauling with the CS, and reached a compromise.

VIDEO: Moha Jicho Pevu Tears Into Joho Over ‘Forced’ Covid-19 Testing in Mombasa

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Nyali constituency MP Mohamed Ali has clashed with governor Hassan Ali Joho over the mass testing for Covid-19 that kicked off in Mombasa on Saturday May 2, 2020.

A section of the residents of Mombasa boycotted the exercise, forcing governor Joho to lose temper on them.

Joho scolded the residents of Old Town for what he termed as evading coronavirus tests.

The furious governor expressed his disappointment that residents failed to avail themselves for the mass testing which the county had rolled to ascertain the spread of the deadly virus.

He further stated that once the residents will once more not avail themselves for the testing, they will be locked up in their houses.

Responding to Joho’s outburst on the Saturday night, the vocal journalist-turned politician opposed Joho’s words pointing out that it was not wise for the governor to ‘threaten’ the residents.

He went on to state that as coastal leaders, they ought to come up with a strategy to support the residents. Some of which he mentioned were; allowing health professionals to do their work and also giving scientists humble time to investigate the condition and offer advisory measures.

He further disclosed that most of the residents are reluctant in going for the tests since once confirmed positive, they are informed that quarantine and treatment costs are at their own costs.

He called off the governor for setting aside Ksh 700 Million shillings for fighting the pandemic.

He questioned the move on when parliament discussed such amounts and also went on to ask if the money is there, why are the residents forced to pay for the services.

He also opposed Joho’s idea on calling for a lock down in the county due to increase in number of the confirmed positive cases

by Brian Miano
written by Brian Miano

The National government is using COVID-19 pandemic to play a dirty game, Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali has revealed.

Through his social media handles, the journalist-turned politician revealed how the government orchestrated a clever move to send MPs home so as to implement taxation measures, supplementary budget and the Ksh 3 Trillion 2020/2021 Estimates.

According to the Nyali lawmaker, all this is set to happen without any parliamentary approval.

He further reveals that the locking down of Nairobi, where both National Assembly and the senate are situated, was a move to paralyze lawmaker’s efforts to access Nairobi.

The MP says that the government want to pass a rotten COVID-19 budget by setting up the MPs.

He went ahead to blame the media for allowing themselves to be used by the state by running controversial headlines the portray MPs in a bad manner.

On Monday morning, the Standard newspaper ran a headline titled “The Traitors”, which referred to the MPs.

At is at this point that MPs started making revelations about the circumstances that led to the suspension of their sittings.

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria on Monday morning also took to his social media handles to make similar revelations.

Below is Mohammed Ali’s post on his facebook page.

“As I said earlier, the cancellation of the Special Sittings of the National Assembly and the Senate (Both of them located within Nairobi) had little to do with COVID-19. It is a clever orchestration to implement taxation measures, supplementary budget and the Ksh 3 Trillion 2020/2021 Estimates without parliamentary approval, a clear by – pass of the country’s laws.

“The SYSTEM want us to pass a rotten Covid budget by setting us up. If we dont pass it we appear bad in the eyes of the public. Somebody is trying to redeem himself unfortunately using corona virus pandemic. The Standard newspaper today in its typical art of spin and propaganda has deliberately chosen to forsake the truth and is now collectively reprimanding parliament despite the fact that many of us have been calling for the reconvention of parliament as early as March.

“This is not only dishonest but also portray a media house hellbent on driving the Executive’s agenda at whatever cost; the tenets of impartial journalism notwithstanding.

“Hii ukora naielewa. I know a REAL JOURNALIST SCRIPT and the SYSTEM ONE. They tried with the STAR NEWSPAPER- SMART PEOPLE READ THE SUN but it didn’t work. To the standard and star newspapers kumbukeni MSICHANA WA BAR HATONGOZWI ASUBUHI. Wakenya wanataka pesa zao msitumiwe kuwasaidia WAKORA kuiba kwa kuwafanya wengine waonekane wabaya Ili Bunge isifunguliwe. TRUTH is my WEAKNESS. I refuse to die! ” reads the post.

Moses Kuria Has Been Arrested Over BBI, Claims Moha Jicho Pevu

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has been arrested over his continued attack on Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), Nyali MP Mohamed Ali popularly known as Moha Jicho Pevu has claimed.

Speaking in a Kikuyu accent on Friday, Moha claimed Mr Kuria has not been arrested for assaulting a woman as being claimed.

He criticized Pro-BBI leaders for wasting public money on BBI sensitization meetings instead of concentrating on bettering the Kenyan economy.

Moses Kuria has been slamming the government for ignoring coffee and Milk farmers whilst giving BBI a priority.

The Nyali MP claims billions of money is being wasted on BBI while Kenyans continue to suffer.

Mr Kuria was arrested on Friday over an assault case filed against him on December 10, 2019.

Joyce Wanja said she was assaulted on December 8 last year at the RMS premises during a show she and the MP were invited to discuss BBI.

Moses Kuria was taken to Kilimani Police station where he is spending his weekend.

Kuria has said he is ready to pay the price for others to get freedom.

The MP on Friday said it was unfair for police to arrest him over a matter he claims to be a complainant over.

Kuria, through Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa, said his adamant stand on the BBI is what has put him in trouble, but he will not be intimidated.

He said because he has chosen to be part of the William Ruto camp, some elements within the government have resorted to frustrating him.

He has said he does not understand why police chose to arrest him, yet last year he made a formal complaint at the Kilimani station over the assault claims.
