THE Mombasa county assembly will work for the wellbeing of the locals to improve their living standard, the county deputy speaker has said. Rashid Mswaba said they will ensure they make legislation that favours the locals.
“We us legislators are free to work with anyone to ensure lives of the Coastal people, especially Mombasa, are improved,” he said. Speaking when addressing the Knut officials in Mombasa, he said the county assembly will work day and night for the sake of its people.
“We invite teachers and all other residents to present their problems through the county representatives so they can be looked into,” he said.
The Airport ward county representative said the locals elected them so they can represent them at the county level and they have no option but to do so.
He said Mombasa needs to improve educationally and it is by the help of the teachers that they will achieve this. Mswaba said the county will be fully operational immediately after the induction course of the county officers which is ongoing.
Mombasa interim county clerk Tubman Otieno had earlier said operations will start formally after the appointment and induction of county officials. “We have not started any formal operations because the officers have not yet undergone the induction training,” said Tubman.
