President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Jubilee government has brought more development to the Coast region than any other regime.
Uhuru cited the expansion of the Mombasa Port with the aim of making Kenya a big exporter of goods.
He said that contrary to allegations comming from the opposition, his government has put in place plans to create jobs for every Kenyan by creating industrial parks across the country which manufacture goods to be transported to the port for export.
“We want Mombasa to become a central point where all goods manufactured across our country arrive and are exported to destinations in the rest of the world as opposed to Mombasa being purely a port where we just receive goods for our people to consume,” Uhuru said.
He said this at State House in Mombasa during a press interview.
