• Hassan Joho said President Uhuru would not have spared Ruto if he dared slap him as he had claimed
• Joho stated Uhuru is a strong man who will not allow someone to beat him up without retaliating

Mombasa governor Hassan Joho has said President Uhuru Kenyatta would not have spared his deputy William Ruto if he dared slap him on the day they had a heated chat at state house after the Supreme Court annulled the 2017 presidential election.

Joho said Uhuru is a man enough and would not allow the DP to slap him without doing anything, just like any other man will act in self-defence from an attacker.

Speaking in Gatundu on Wednesday, July 6, 001, as he is otherwise known, said if Ruto can disrespect the seating president, then he would spell doom in Kenya if given powers to steer the most powerful off on the land.

He claimed that Ruto's regime would be the worst administration since citizens will be mistreated by a president whom he described as a loose cannon.

"Nasikia William Ruto alisema anaweza kuchapa Uhuru, nani alimwambia Uhuru si mwanaume, ungejaribu ungetwangwa kutwangwa ( I heard Ruto saying that he can slap Uhuru, who told him that Uhuru is not a man, if he had dared, Uhuru would have beaten him to pulp," said Joho, who has been promised a Cabinet position if Raila Odinga's Azimio la Umoja forms the next government.
