Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho had a special gift for patients in the whole Mombasa County. Joho took to social media to announce that he waived the entire medical fee for patients that were discharged on Jamhuri Day but were unable to clear their bills.
“In line 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. Let’s continue fostering harmonious relations, promoting cohesion and peaceful co-existence,” Joho tweeted on December 12.
Meanwhile, this year’s celebrations were different compared to the 2017 celebrations where political temperatures were extremely high.
Last year, Joho was criticising Jubilee party led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and swore to make sure that his party leader Raila Odinga was sworn in as the People’s President.
However, President Kenyatta feted Joho this year with the Elder of the Golden Heart (EGH) award alongside other leaders.
During his speech in Nairobi, President Uhuru promised to cement his handshake with Raila Odinga as a means of fostering national unity.
He also warned leaders who are politicising the current fight against corruption. He stated the arrests would continue until all looted public funds are recovered.
