There is no doubt that flamboyant Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho is a man who is very particular about how he looks.
It is evident in his careful grooming and dressing — carefully-trimmed hair paired with a stylish beard cut and well-fitting immaculate clothes that even an unschooled eye can tell are pricey; unless they are very good knock-offs.
Mr Joho seems to favour Versace and Dolce&Gabbana, both high-end Italian fashion brands, going by the many glamorous photos he has posted on his Instagram page.
One of his shirts by Dolce&Gabbana, described on the brand’s site as “Cotton Hawaiian Shirt with Tropical King Print”, costs 800 euros, approximately Sh92,000.
He also has a Versace Gold Barocco print silk sweater, which goes for 862 dollars (Sh89,000).
The governor also owns a Versace Embroidered Medusa shirt, which costs around 550 euros (Sh63,000).
Two months ago, in a popular video clip of the governor partying with American socialite Paris Hilton in the US, he wore a Versace Blue/Gold Heritage print shirt that costs 450 pounds (Sh60,000).
Mr Joho is also a lover of designer sneakers. Of the many that he flaunts on Instagram, he owns a pair by luxury fashion house Dolce&Gabbana that costs 290 euros, about Sh34,000, enough to buy around 1,000 pairs of leather school shoes at Bata.
But Joho is not the only governor in Kenya with a taste for designer clothes.
A couple of weeks ago, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, who is known for his flashy dressing and love for over-the-top jewellery, was photographed wearing the Versace brand from head to toe on his way to the Kenya Revenue Authority offices in Nairobi, where he was questioned over suspect payments.
The ensemble was composed of a cap, sunglasses, shirt and matching sandals. Such a Versace Baroque silk shirt costs 1,395 dollars (Sh144,000).
He has also been photographed wearing a Gucci GG Supreme bucket hat that goes for 650 dollars, about Sh67,500.
The governor was also once photographed with Globe-Trotter Riviera 20 carry-on trolley worth 1,950 dollars (Sh200,000). Globe-Trotter is a British luxury luggage, suitcase and accessory brand.
Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi also has an expensive taste, which seems to lean towards Versace, having been photographed wearing a Versace Baroque silk shirt that costs 1,395 dollars (Sh144,000), as well as a Versace Barocco print shirt that costs 1,036 dollars, which is roughly Sh107,000.
So, compared to these three governors, how does your governor fare in terms of fashion-sense, grooming and partiality to big brands that were made for those with big bucks in mind?
