- CS Hassan Joho has fiercely refuted claims of being a drug trafficking mastermind, demanding that his accusers present concrete evidence
- The hunk politician labeled the charges as vague and unfounded, challenging the Genesis for Human Rights Commission to substantiate their allegations
- He insisted that his appointment is above reproach and the claims are nothing but baseless speculations
Mining and Blue Economy Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has forcefully rejected claims that he is a mastermind in the drug trafficking racket, challenging his accusers to provide evidence to support their allegations.
The once-celebrated Mombasa Governor, now embroiled in a fierce legal battle, has found himself at the center of a storm after the Genesis for Human Rights Commission dragged him to court, claiming his appointment was tainted by scandal.

The human rights group, led by Caleb Ngwena, accused Joho of being involved in illegal drug trafficking—a charge they say was outlined in a dossier tabled in Parliament by the late George Saitoti.
The commission also questioned Joho’s academic credentials, arguing that the Committee on Appointments overlooked several memorandums that detailed his alleged unsuitability for the Cabinet post.
But Joho, known for his unflinching public persona, struck back with vigor, dismissing the accusations as “bare and unsubstantiated.”
In a statement through his lawyer, Paul Buti, the CS demanded that his accusers bring forth credible evidence to back up their claims, asserting that the allegations were too generalized to warrant any serious response.

“The issue of drug trafficking is bare, unsubstantiated, and is so generalized that it is not possible for any party to adequately respond to the same,” Joho declared.
Far from bowing under the weight of scandal, Joho maintained that his appointment was lawful and his qualifications had already been vetted and approved by the court.
He urged the court to throw out the petition, emphasizing that no constitutional violations had been presented.

“Nothing unconstitutional has been pointed out by the petitioner to persuade the court to grant orders sought. This matter should be dismissed,” he insisted.
