Places where thousands once lined up to collect foodstuffs from the late Mombasa tycoon, Hasmukh Patel, alias Hasu, are now deserted.
Signs of neglect are evident at the Kibarani recreation facility, which Patel rehabilitated at a cost of Sh700 million. The Mombasa County Government intends to convert it into a bus park. The facility is overgrown with grass, and plastic cups and bottles are scattered around. During our visit, we observed sculptures being removed to an undisclosed location.
