Former Kisauni MP Ali Mbogo has reiterated that, Mombasa dwellers are responsible for the poor leadership witnessed in the county.

Mbogo blamed Mombasa residents for electing irresponsible leaders who have further drained the Coastal economy hub, Mombasa.

Addressing locals in Junda area within Kisauni Sub County, Mbogo who already declared his interest in the top County seat come 2027, said locals should come together, strategise and chat the way forward in a bid to change the County’s leadership.

He said the current Governor Abdulswamad Sharif Nassir has failed in ensuring transparency in various initiatives he launched using taxpayers money, further stating that most of his projects have failed.

According to Mbogo, Nassir’s government lacks transparency, a reason why the county lag behind in development.

“From employment opportunities to awarding of bursaries and tenders among other development initiatives, all the processes have been marred by massive irregularities and corruption,” he said.

He challenged Mombasa County Assembly to properly play it’s oversight role.

“The moment you shower the MCAs with tenders and other business opportunities from the county government, the secret motive is only to ‘kill’ the oversight role and that’s what is currently happening in Mombasa,” said Mbogo

The LAPSSET Chairperson is appealing to Mombasa residents to ensure they change the county leadership without thinking twice about the move.

“Some few youth were enrolled in the ‘Mombasa Yangu’ environment project that did not last. Why giving our youth empty promises but awarding your friends and political circle better well paying jobs in the county?” The politician posed.

Mbogo said time has come for Mombasa residents to take charge of their own county and overhaul it’s leadership.

He said, with the current leadership, Mombasa County is gearing up for totally nothing.

In the recent past, Mombasa youth through the Gen-Z protests have vowed to blow out all the 47 counties’ secret deals that have seen very few people becoming rich at the expense of taxpayers’ money.

The Gen-Zs said they will now turn to counties and conduct parallel investigations to ensure corrupt Governors and their incompetent friends employed by the virtue of being political campaigners, relatives, and friends to the Governors instead of qualifications, ethics and high integrity are sent home and legally pursued.
