I am grateful to Veronica Onjoro for her article in The Standard dated Tuesday 9, 2024, in which she voiced concerns about the poor drainage system within parts of Kongowea where livelihoods of thousands of residents are at risk.

Ms Onjoro, like every other Mombasa resident, has a right to be angry. I feel extremely humbled that she has specifically obligated me to pursue urgent corrective action for rehabilitation of drainage systems and garbage collection within the affected area, which is in Nyali Constituency.
