Mvita Member of Parliament Abdulswamad Nassir has promised to ensure that money will flow into the pockets of Mombasa people if he is elected governor next year.
Nassir assured the residents that he would ensure that monies go into the pockets of the poor majority who are more deserving instead of the few rich.
He reiterated that the desire to see the majority poor elevate their lives pushed him to bring motions into the national assembly to push for the reopening of the economy that had adversely been affected by the pandemic especially a number of small micro-enterprises.
Nassir was addressing crowds at different stopovers in his meet-the-people tour in Shanzu, Kisauni constituency as he continued to drum up support for his Mombasa County 2022 gubernatorial bid.
“I want to tell you that our manifesto is to ensure that there is money in your pockets, we want to ensure that money will go into the pockets of the poor majority and not the few rich,” said Nassir.
Nassir said that together with other colleagues in the national assembly, they brought motions to lift the nationwide imposed curfew and also to bring back the kazi mtaani project that benefited close to 280,000 youth in all the 47 counties across the country.
He stated that the country was in dire need for the next economic liberation accusing the Jubilee administration for plunging the country into deep economic mess occasioned by corruption and heavy borrowing that has pushed the country’s debt ceiling to a record high.
“Right now the is the time for an economic liberation and the only person who can lead the that is the one who brought the democratic liberation, and that is non other than Raila Odinga,” said Nassir.
Nassir drummed up support for Raila’s sh6000 monthly stipend to 2 million vulnerable families in the country when he ascends to power bashing out deputy president William Ruto and allies who are opposed to it.
He further called on the people of Mombasa and the region at large to rally behind Odinga in his quest to become Kenya’s fifth president next year promising that he would revive Kenya’s struggling economy.
"While you (Ruto and allies) afford to enjoy chopper rides and are able to eat three square meals per day, remember there are people who cant even afford a sing meal and are also walking barefoot, these are the people Raila wants to help,” said Nassir.
