Presided over a community engagement forum at Serani Grounds in Mombasa County, bringing together members of the Cushitic communities for discussions on civic participation, access to public services and community development.
The forum featured registration desks for national identity cards and the Social Health Authority (SHA), attracting a strong turnout from residents.
I inspected the registration booths and witnessed the enrolment process firsthand.
In my address, I urged the Cushitic communities to participate actively in Mombasa's democratic processes by voting and fielding candidates to strengthen their representation in leadership.
I also called for greater unity and integration among communities as a foundation for social and economic progress.
Further, I highlighted measures and projects by the current administration, including the removal of vetting requirements for citizenship and travel documents, the Lamu–Mandera road corridor, affordable housing initiatives in Northern Kenya and the expansion of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through SHA.
I also cited the reported registration of more than 32 million Kenyans under SHA and the disbursement of more than KSh200 billion to health facilities, supporting hundreds of thousands of surgeries.
I further urged leaders from previous Administrations to allow the political process to proceed without undue interference, while reflecting on the events surrounding the 2022 General Election and the political contestation at the Bomas of Kenya.
The forum was attended by host Governor H.E. Abdulswamad Sharrif Nasir, Mombasa Woman Representative Hon. Zamzam Mohammed, PS Ahmed Abdisalan (National Government Coordination), businessman Abubakar Ali Joho and Members of Parliament Hon. Mohammed Adow (Wajir South), Hon. Hussein Barre (Tarbaj) and Hon. Mohamed Abdikheir (Lafey), alongside security and National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs).
