Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir has put on notice all public land grabbers within the county, telling them their days are numbered.

Speaking in Kongowea on Sunday, Nassir said it had come to his attention that there are individuals within the county who have been grabbing public land thus making it hard for the county government to implement some of it's developement projects.

He pointed to the case where an individual is claiming ownership of the land next to the Kongowea dispensary. 

"I'm informed that there is an individual claiming ownership of this land where we are now. How is it possible to claim ownership of a land where there is a public hospital?" said Nassir.

Adding  "Let it go on record, whether I'm alive or dead no one will be allowed to grab a public land under my watch. I put land grabbers on notice you will have no space to breathe, It shall be you and me, head to head and you will not win. My administration will not tolerate invasion of public facilities by unscrupulous officials."

Nassir ordered county land officials to do a search on the said individual and establish which other pieces of land in the county are registered under his name.

Nassir charged "I dont know the individual and I'm now ordering our Land minister, officials from finance and legal to do a proper search on the individual. You cannot stop us from constructing a hospital just because of your selfish reasons."
