Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho is one of the few great leaders we have if we were to go by his developments at the coastal city.

The stylish governor, who's known for his love for finer things in life, is also a great fan of music.

Joho has been very supportive of musicians from the coastal region. Susumila and Kelechi are some of those who enjoy his support.
