President Uhuru Kenyatta has said that there are plans to expand the free maternity service to include provision of free National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) medical cover for one year for mother and child upon delivery in public health facilities.
“These are some of the projects that we want to continue implementing so that we complete the journey we have embarked on to transform the Coast region and the whole country. That is why we are seeking your votes and support to enable us do that,” President Kenyatta said.
The Head of State was speaking on Sunday during a campaign rally in the Coast region.
President Kenyatta and his deputy were accompanied by a host of Coast leaders including Members of Parliament Harrison Kombe (Magarini), Gideon Mungaro (Kilifi North), Mustafa Idd (Kilifi South), Peter Shehe (Ganze) as well as Tana River Governor Hussein Dado, Kilifi Deputy Governor Kenneth Kamto and Jubilee aspirants for various posts in the county.
The Coast Jubilee leaders said the ground has shifted in the Coastal region in favour of Jubilee.
