Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Mombasa governor candidate Abdulswamand Nassir has pledged to steer ahead affairs of the youth and women in Mombasa when he forms the next government after August 9 general elections.

Nassir said his government will be people centered, that will create jobs for the youth without discrimination.

He said job slots of village administrators, field officers, and chief officers will be sourced equally by every sub county.

“There is nobody who will be in the county and brag about being the best, because every opportunity that arises will be shared by all wards,” he added.

Speaking in Changamwe while addressing a group of youths from the area, Nassir urged the youth to stay united and avoid perpetrating chaos in the August 9 General elections.

The Mvita Mp said his government will actively involve youth in serious affairs that will economically empower them.

“Every ward will have a resource center that will have internet connectivity so that our youth can have a place where they can do their online activities,” said Nassir.

Nassir said Tax regime in the county will be reviewed to ensure that companies that are led by the youth will be exempt from tax and levies for them to thrive.

“We will give youth money without interest so that they can do business. We will review all the fees within the finance bill so that some exorbitant charges can be removed,” said Nassir.

Nassir also said his government will factor the affairs of single mothers by empowering them to stand on their own. Nassir also promised to provide sanitary towels to school going girls through a special programme.

“We will have a second chance programme for the single mothers, if it's going to school, they will do so, if it's business empowerment they must be empowered,” said Nassir adding that he will have a special kitty for them.

Nassir at the same time reiterated Mombasa will demand a revenue share from Kenya ports Authority (KPA) stating that locals especially the youth should benefit from the resources that come from the port.

Mombasa ODM youth leader Ali Kubo asked the youth to support Nassir’s bid to succeed governor Hassan Joho in the oncoming elections.

Kubo asked the youth to vote a six piece pattern so as to reap from the ODM government when it forms the next government.

 “We must ensure we vote in six piece because if we put other p[arties we will not enjoy the benefits of our government, this is the opportunity for the youth to install their government,” said Kubo.
