Hassan Omar- DP Ruto's phone call wooed me to Jubilee

Former Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar left tongues wagging after his move to Jubilee Party. The former Wiper Democratic Party Secretary General on Sunday 8 October revealed how a phone call from Deputy President William Ruto wooed him to the Jubilee Party.

“Hakuna mwana NASA alininipigia, hakuna principal alinipigia. Mtu wa kwanza kunipigia simu tarahe 11, because I have always had a personal relationship with him, siasa zetu sio tafauti. Akaniambia my friend usife moyo … This is the beginning of the journey- After my loss to Joho in August, no NASA principal called me to check up on me or even to encourage me… But on August 11, the Deputy President William Ruto called me. He encouraged me to take positives from the loss. He made me think about who my true friends are. Raila will always come here and look away as high taxes imposed on Mombasa people. When businessmen struggle to get permits, he never talks about it,” said Hassam Omar.
