Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Mining and Blue Economy Ali Hassan Joho has made a playful request to Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, asking for her help in finding a wife.

Joho mentioned that having a spouse would allow him to relocate and concentrate on a project in his county.

His request was made in a light-hearted manner, reflecting his sense of humor and the close professional relationship between the two officials.

Sworn in as Cabinet Secretary on Thursday, August 8, Ali Hassan Joho has quickly begun to make an impact in his new role.

He’s hit the ground running, making bold promises to deliver on key projects and initiatives within his portfolio.

Joho’s proactive approach signals his commitment to driving progress in the Mining and Blue Economy sectors.

Hassan Joho’s advice to Anne Waiguru

While addressing a crowd in Kirinyaga, Ali Hassan Joho celebrated his new role in the government and playfully inquired about Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru’s future plans.

His remarks were part of a broader, enthusiastic speech where he expressed his excitement about his new position and engaged with the local audience in a light-hearted manner.

Ali Hassan Joho addressed the crowd by saying,

“I heard your governor mention that someone advised her to leave the government. If I am in the government, why would you exit? You have seen me here, in President William Samoei Ruto’s government. I want to say that the president has given us orders, and I have come here and seen the fish farming projects. He told me that after two months, he should come and find them completed.”

Why Joho wants a wife in Kirinyaga

Joho added,

“I have asked Waiguru to get me a small house and a wife so I can move here and closely monitor the project to ensure it’s completed. This way, I can help ensure that the fish farming project provides jobs for the youth. Here, it’s all about working and not playing.”

Some Kenyans were skeptical about Joho’s emphasis on fish farming in Kirinyaga, questioning whether it was the most suitable agricultural focus for the region. Here are some of the reactions from social media:

@Wesley_Kibande: “I think fish farming is not a priority in Mt Kenya. The priority in that region is coffee, tea, and livestock farming. Lake regions and the Coast should be a focus for blue economy initiatives.”
@iamkipro: “ODM experts donated by Raila to the government.”
@ndegegeoffrey: “Kenya’s best of the best being their best.”
@MrOgarnic: “Hawa watu si innovative.” (These people are not innovative.)
@albertbett11: “Politicians are untamed! They do their thing like always.”

In a different turn, Kenyans got a glimpse of Joho’s family when they visited State House, where they were excitedly photographed with President Ruto. The sight of Joho’s well-dressed family impressed many netizens.
