According to governor Joho, President Uhuru’s government has ignored Mombasa county people compared to other parts of the country.
He further noted that there were are no projects started by the national government in the area.
“We want to see the billions that have been disbursed to other areas today brought to Mombasa,” said Joho, who dismissed President Kenyatta and other Jubilee leaders’ visit in Mombasa as a “tourism trip to benefit our hotels”.
“We launched the Kongowea market almost a year ago and I’m told traders have not been allowed to operate from there. Can the county hasten the process,” said Uhuru.
