In order to participate in the August 8, elections and choose a government that represents hopes and aspirations of the people, Mombasa governor Hassan Joho asked Kenyans to take full advantage of the ongoing second and final mass voter registration and register as voters.
''Our future and that of generations to come, will deteriorate to unprecedented levels if the status quo remains the same,'' he said.
Joho urged Mombasa residents to take their destiny into their own hands by acquiring their voters cards and ensure that they are not left out in the electoral agency registration exercise which ends February 14.
"This time like never before we must ensure that fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, neighbors and ourselves are registered as voters,'' noted Joho.
He added: "The moment to choose a government that is sensitive and responsive to plight of Kenyans, will eliminate corruption, deal with historical injustices, social justice and respect to human rights beacons.''
Joho further said they were going to carry out an intensive voter registration campaign that would see registration of over 300,000 new voters.
IEBC is targeting to register 200,000 in Mombasa County.
