The delegation led by the coalition campaigner during the last general election Farid Ahmed said they will show up for the ceremony.
Speaking to the press in his office in Mombasa, Farid said all is set for the big day and they expect a big number of delegates from Mombasa to attend the inauguration ceremony.
“We have hired 30 buses to transport the delegates to Moi sports centre Kasarani to attend the swearing in of our president-elect Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto,” he said.
He added that they expect to have a colourful ceremony in Nairobi as Uhuru Kenyatta is sworn in as the fourth president of the republic of Kenya.Farid was the man behind the Jubilee campaigns at the coast region which was perceived as a Cord stronghold.
He said it was unfortunate that many resident in coast refused to vote for any Jubilee leader which might see it being left out by the government in developments.However, Farid has expressed optimism that Uhuru Government will not sideline the coast region for not having elected leaders from Jubilee coalition on March 4.
“We are optimistic that Uhuru will work with all the people from across the country despite their political background and affiliation” he added.President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are expected to be sworn in on Tuesday April 9 at Moi Sports centre Kasarani.
Final touches of the event are ongoing in Kasarani where different countries dignitaries are expected to show up.
