Mombasa gubernatorial aspirant Omar Hassan Omar has launched his Manifesto.
He said the Citizen Manifesto Initiative, was a process that gives an opportunity for the people of Mombasa to craft their agenda and forge a path to the future.
''It will also act as a benchmark for development for the County,'' said Omar, who also doubles up as the area senator.
He faces tough competition from ODM's incumbent Hassan Joho, even though both are in the opposition's Nasa.
Addressing supporters, Wednesday, he noted the Manifesto breathes life to Article 174 of the Constitution which empowers the people to self-govern and the public to be involved in decision making.
Omar who is vying on a Wiper party ticket, which he seats as the secretary general, warned that he would ensure all corrupt county officials are prosecuted, and sent to prison.
