He said the county government of Mombasa has built 3 other 7 aside football pitches in Majengo, Kisauni, including the FIFA standard 11 aside Bomu stadium in Changamwe, which is now under contruction.
"We intend to have such modern sporting facilities in each sub county to help nurture talent and keep our younger generation away from vices such as drug addiction, violent extremism and radicalisation," he urged Mombasa residents.
"I made a promise of uplifting not only the infrastructure that never existed at the time in the area but also supporting the youth by way of engaging them in various socio- economic activities through our revolving fund initiative to better their lives. On march 4th 2013, I cast my vote at the famous Uwanja wa Mbuzi grounds to be the CEO of the great county of Mombasa," he added.
