Former Mombasa senator and UDA governor candidate Hassan Omar Sarai has pledged a sh 2 billion Biashara fund kitty to support small scale businesses should he win the August 9 polls.
Speaking shortly after he was cleared by the Independent electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC at the Kenya School of government, Omar said top of his agenda is to revive Mombasa economy, create jobs for the youth as well as offer desired leadership.
"Our opponents are out of touch with the people's needs, our government will prioritize bettering the lives of the people by focusing on what their needs are,first we have a plan to review taxes and levies affecting the business community and setting a fund that will boost them," said Omar.
In his pledges, Omar says he will set up water desalination plants to purify water as he seeks to provide clean drinking water, equipping hospitals with medicine and paying well medics.
"Those who looted Mombasa wealth must return them, this is the most decisive elections of all time where people must not make the mistake they made the last 10 years of electing Joho administration which has done nothing." said Omar.
Nyali Mp Mohamed Ali and Omar accused Joho administration for allegedly colluding to deny UDA politicians spaces to mount their billboards.
"Politics of Mombasa are not going to be determined by billboards, we urge them to stop denying us a chance to erect our billboards, they only allocate us places that are not visible." claimed Ali.
Omar accompanied by his running mate Selina Karisa and other united Democratic Alliance UDA party leaders joins the crowded race in quest to take over leadership from Joho Administration.
A total of five governor candidates have so far been cleared by IEBC. They include Shariff Nassir (ODM), William Kingi (PAA), Daniel Kitsau (Independent) and Awiti Bolo (VDP).
"We urge Mombasa people to be ready for change, Mombasa has been under the hostage of few individuals and that must change, we are determined to deliver victory against our clueless opponents," Omar said.
