This is according to Mombasa Deputy Governor Dr William Kingi.He said Kenya has consistently since independence, skewed its policies against coastal people.During the inaugural regional consultative convention on the peoples assembly graced by opposition leader Raila Odinga, the leaders deliberated on the socio-economic and political future of the coast region. They later on Sunday arrived at the following resolutions that would ultimately herald the exit of coastal region from Kenya."●To reiterate that we do not recognize the illegitimate presidency of Uhuru Kenyatta, and to state in no uncertain terms that we shall not accept the institutionalization of sham elections in Kenya. There will be no business as usual until a democratically elected President assumes office.●To reiterate our unwavering support and loyalty to H.E Raila Amolo Odinga, the rightful President of the Republic of Kenya. ●To participate and support fully the People's Assembly process until we restore democracy or go our separate ways. ●To put Uhuru Kenyatta and the Jubilee administration on notice that we shall not sit by as the operations of the Port of Mombasa are relocated to the hinterland. Coastal resources, including the Port of Mombasa are our God-given endowment, and so it shall remain.●To observe that we recognize the Jubilee administration’s political agenda of dismantling the 2010 Constitution in the manner and for the reasons that the Jomo Kenyatta administration dismantled the Independence Constitution, thereby abrogating the Lancaster House settlement between the Coastal Strip and the Kenya colony.●To invoke our right to self-determination as enshrined in Article 1 of the International Declaration of Human Rights and to pursue this as provided for in the Constitution of Kenya 2010.●To convene a self-determination convention as a matter of urgency."
