Mombasa County can actualize its rightful place as a regional commercial hub through an all inclusive leadership that is action oriented. Staggering job losses and declining personal income are among facts that this county faces everyday. We must use our challenges as a rallying point and adopt a more collaborative approach to innovative solutions that will lead us back to prosperity.

In my tenure as Member of Parliament for Kisauni Constituency I have contributed immensely towards its development and realized the need to empower the community right from the grassroots in order to spur economic growth, increase jobs and increase prosperity . The demands of the people of Kisauni are to a large extent similar to other constituencies in Mombasa County. The devolved system of government offers more resources for socio‐economic development and improved service delivery to county residents. Proper strategies and pol icies are a pre‐requisite for the achievement of economic prosperity and quality standards of living.

My vision is to see Mombasa County as a vibrant modern regional commercial hub with a high standard of living for its residents.
