Why walking long distances in groups is becoming popular in Mombasa

Major Idris, former personal assistant and aide to the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, is a political animal to the core. He eats, sleeps and dreams politics. His blood group is "Orange". In 2013, he became the political advisor to Governor Hassan Ali Joho and in 2020 he joined me as my campaign manager as I prepared to bid for the governorship of Mombasa.

So, in late 2022 after we closed the books of the aborted campaign of 2022, he suddenly emerged with a Mombasa Walk Movement. He started leading people in walking long distances from one corner of the town to the other. They walked almost 20km every Saturday.
