Mombasa governor Abdulswamad Nassir has decried delayed disbursement of the county revenue allocation, thus affecting service delivery.

The governor claimed Mombasa is being victimized because it’s leadership is allied to the Orange Democratic Party ODM.Nassir claims that all other counties have received their share, but Mombasa was left out.

“Leadership is not about victimization, leadership is solving problems people have, we must speak, the national government should not be in the fore from to kill devolution, going for four months without money is not easy and we can’t allow that,” said Nassir.

Nassir said Mombasa is struggling to meet some of its functions owing to the delay of the monies for the last four Months. He asked the people including leaders to stay united and focus on development.

“We are saying even if they deny us money, we will thrive, even if Mombasa leadership is ODM ,this does not mean we are less people, and we must talk about the rights of our people, because monies have been delayed,” claimed Nassir.

On his part Jomvu mp Badi Twalib asked leaders to unite and deliver for the people of Mombasa.

“The central government must release funds to counties, because counties cannot manage themselves, let them know that the people of Mombasa also have a right,” said Twalib who urged leaders in Mombasa to stay united irrespective of party affiliations.

The leaders were speaking during an iftar dinner hosted by the Jomvu Mp Badi Twalib, on Saturday evening.

Speaking at the same function EALA Mp Hassan Omar said the government will not victimize anyone instead it will deliver the pledges it gave to the people of Mombasa.

Omar said it is evident that the Kenya Kwanza government is considerate about the Mombasa people when it returned port operations to Mombasa port.

“We want to promise Mombasa people that the government has big plans for Mombasa, we will not victimize anyone, and the plans are underway to ensure as the special economic zone takes shape, we will create more jobs in Mombasa.

Omar further called on Mombasa residents not to take part in the Azimio la Umoja Monday protests.

"Let them continue with their protests in other areas, as for Mombasa let us remain peaceful and ensure that our tourism industry remains steady". said Omar
