People who have no knowledge of the world? Someone who does not even know what minerals are. I cannot,” Joho was quoted as saying.
The statement reflects Joho’s increasingly assertive approach to political debates. Rather than engaging every critic on their terms, he appeared determined to defend his experience and knowledge, particularly on matters connected to the mining sector.
Joho currently serves as Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs. His role has placed him at the centre of discussions about Kenya’s mineral resources, investment opportunities and the broader development of the extractive sector.
His remarks also come against the backdrop of intense political realignments at the Coast. In August, Joho joined other Coast leaders in urging residents to register as voters, arguing that a strong voter base would increase the region’s bargaining power ahead of the 2027 elections.
The political conversation surrounding Joho has also intensified as different groups speculate about his possible role in the next administration. Some Coast leaders have openly backed the idea of Joho becoming Deputy President, while others have challenged him to clearly state his political direction.

His public statements have increasingly focused on development, regional interests and the political influence of the Coast.
The latest remarks underline the confidence with which Joho approaches political criticism. His message appears to be that political arguments should be supported by knowledge, particularly when discussing technical sectors such as mining.
As the country moves closer to the 2027 General Election, Joho is likely to remain one of the politicians attracting significant attention. His influence at the Coast, government position and outspoken nature continue to make his political statements a subject of public debate.
For now, Joho appears unwilling to retreat from the political arena. His latest response sends a clear message to his critics: he intends to defend his record, knowledge and political position rather than surrender to criticism he considers uninformed.
