Governor Abdulswamad Sherrif Nassir Statement;
I accompanied my Party Leader H. E Raila Odinga as he attended Sunday Service at ACK Memorial Cathedral.
I have always held the belief that any leader elected in Mombasa must be a leader for all regardless of religion, color or ethnic persuasion. This is because Mombasa is one of the most cosmopolitan counties in the entire Republic. My administration is founded on the preservation of our societyโs unity and cohesion.
Within the first 100 days of your new government, we have implemented the full waiver of land rates for places of worship across all faiths as we work to support the key work that they do in our communities.
