The grievances task force which had its first public hearing in Mombasa at the weekend is scheduled to hold others in Kwale and Kilifi. Joseph Kibwana, the chair of the committee, said they are working on the venues of the two public hearings.
 Speaking to the Star, Kibwana said they are working closely with the county governments. He said they will communicate the venues in newspapers and radio stations.
“We will be having the next meetings on May 4 in Kwale and Kilifi counties running simultaneous in a bid to save time,” he said on phone. He said the Kwale meeting is open to everyone including the Mombasa Republican Council representatives.
“Our MRC brothers should not shy away from the hearings so that their grievances can be heard and addressed,” he said. The chairman wants the sessions to be interactive.
 The task force will then travel to Tana River, Lamu and wind up with Taita Taveta county to meet the locals over the historical injustices they have undergone.
