Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir will on Monday officially open the third County Assembly of Mombasa.

This comes just weeks after members of the assembly (MCASs) concluded their induction at a hotel in Nairobi. 

The members were officially sworn in last month where they also re-elected Aharub Khatri as the speaker of the assembly. 

Khatri was elected unopposed after nine other candidates who had shown interest in the position failed to submit their duly filed nomination papers before the deadline date.

It is expected that governor Nassir will also address the House.

During the Mashujaa Day celebration held at Mama Ngina waterfront last Thursday, Nassir said his first agenda will be to ensure that the MCAs help him in identifying needy students and families from their wards, to benefit from his NHIF and bursary programme.

“I want to bring a change from what has been happening, on Monday we will open our county assembly but before that I want MCAs and ward administrators to sit and identify 200 people who will benefit from NHIF and 200 others who will be educated for free, so that we can uplift them,” said Nassir.

Nassir is yet to appoint county executives who will serve at different dockets.
