A Motion to anchor an economic bloc being fronted by six governors at the coast has received overwhelming backing at the Mombasa County Assembly. But the implementation of the resolution creating the socio-economic integration of six coastal counties has been deferred until regulations are in place.
The Motion seeks to fully put into operation the Jumuia ya Kaunti za Pwani (JKP) after governors Salim Mvurya (Kwale), Hassan Joho (Mombasa), Issa Timamy (Lamu), Amason Kingi (Kilifi), Hussein Dado (Tana River) and John Mruttu (Taita Taveta) signed a co-operation agreement in June this year, marking its launch.
