Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nasir has called on members of the Mombasa county assembly to make laws that will help generate more revenue for the county.

Nassir said for the county to tackle the level of unemployment,it needs to generate more revenues so as to employ more youth in the county employment program dubbed Mombasa Yangu.

"I can't employ youth unless there are laws that will help generate more revenue,we tell you the MCAs to make laws that will help the county and ensure more revenue is generated to employ more youth,"said Nasir.

The governor defended the Mombasa Yangu,that has employed young people in the initiative sponsored by the county government to keep Mombasa clean.

"Make laws that will be there to cater for the majority poor and not the minority rich,"said Nassir as he told off some MCAs who had begun politicizing it.

The governor said he will not sit to watch someone discredit the program he started days after swearing in as the second governor.

"I don't want to be dictated by someone about what to do about the project,am the one who I initiated it and therefore we know i know it's benefits,and I will employ the young people in this program without being coarced or pushed by someone,"said Nassir.

Adding "And I want to tell the MCAs that don't be carried away,you are younger than me in both age and politics,I beseage you to look for what is right for the poor without being influenced,"said infuriated Nasir while defending the recent plan to reduce PSV fees.

On his part, Jomvu Mp Badi Twalib asked Nassir to employ youth in the program to tackle what he termed as serious unemployment levels.The jomvu Mp further cautioned the young people to avoid indulging on social vices like crime.

"Since COVID 19 came,the level of unemployment has doubled,we apploud the governor for the initiative but we ask him to ensure more young people are employed on permanent and pensionable,"said Twalib.
