As Kenyans look forward to joining the rest of the world in marking Christmas celebrations on December 25, the County Government of Mombasa together with the members of the clergy lit the Governor's Christmas tree on Saturday evening, to mark the commencement of the festive season.
"Let us use this moment to remember the sick, the less fortunate and the elderly by sharing and caring," the governor said during the event which was also attended by Senator Mohamed Faki.
When marking the 55th Jamhuri Day celebrations, Joho waived all medical bills for patients who were discharged on Jamhuri Day but were unable to settle their bills.

This has been a tradition for the governor since his first term in office.
"In keeping with our tradition of commemorating Jamhuri Day, I have waived all bills for patients in all our County Hospitals who have been discharged but are unable to settle their bills."
Joho further urged all Mombasa residents and the country at large to continue fostering harmonious relations, promoting cohesion and peaceful co-existence.
He recently also welcomed Kenyans and visitors to Mombasa this holiday season, saying all the required measures have been put in place to ensure security and comfortability of each visitor.
