Mombasa County Governor-elect Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir has committed to fresh discussions over the running of the Mombasa Port and how his administration can have a stake in this crucial national asset.
Addressing the business community, the former Mvita MP, who also served as chairman of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) in the last Parliament, said his first agenda would be to revive Mombasa's economy and the port as a priority.
"During my time in Parliament where I was lucky to chair PIC, we tackled many challenges and one thing that was dire was the efficiency of the port of Mombasa and how it can benefit us all. We are all aware of the current talk on 'returning Mombasa Port services' and this is the real elephant in the room," Nassir said.
