The Kenya Transporters Association Ltd, under #OkoaMombasa, will hold a press conference on May 28 re the Kenya Revenue Authority directive requiring Mombasa port cargo to go thru SGR for clearance at Naivasha ICD. This has sidelined hundreds of truckers.
The press conference will start at 9 am, outside Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI) legal-aid clinic, next to Mombasa High Court.
How has access to justice been during the #coronavirus pandemic? Join senior prosecutor in Kilifi, Victor Alenga, and MUHURI's James Chappa, as they discuss the subject.

At least 50 days have elapsed since the Kenyan government blocked its seven nationals from entering the country. They are sleeping on the streets and hardly afford a meal.

Mombasa woman says spouse suffering on the streets of Ras KamboniPolice at Maktau, Taita Taveta on Monday arrested our officer, Kelly Aduo, who had lowered his facemask to take a soda.
Police apprehended seven other people without facemasks.
The officers demanded bribe from each. Aduo refused to pay; the rest parted with Sh2,000 each. Police booked Aduo at Mwatate police station and refused to give him a bond.
Today, the police arraigned Aduo at Wundanyi Law Courts, charging him with “failure to wear a facemask”. But the court released Aduo unconditionally after finding no merit in the charge that police had trumped up.
This incident is an indictment of police who have been illicitly accruing financial benefits from directives to stem coronavirus.
The culture of police corruption, which keeps growing, is destroying our society. Law-abiding citizens refusing to bribe rogue cops are the greatest sufferers.
We will follow this matter to its logical conclusion.

The criminal justice system seems more just for the wealthy and slow or non-existent if you are poor.The State cancelled a public hearing to delete "Mama Ngina" from Mombasa's waterfront park. Our resolve is not dampened. The name must be removed by all means possible. Okoa Mombasa is collecting views for an appropriate name. Submit yours here: okoamombasa@gmail.com

Government planned to delay or frustrate the hearing, including deploying police to disperse locals, whose crime would have been rejecting "Mama Ngina".Handwashing is the most effective defences against invisible viruses, like corona. Thus, we provided 130 tanks in Lamu for such job, just like we’ve done in other counties where we operate.

The clinics were paid for with Sh800 million of public money, but have sat unused in Mombasa for the past five years.
@GabrielDolan1 @MUHURIkenya @KwachaAfrika @HakiYetuOrg @MombasaCGW #Covid19ReliefFood CSOs should stop to act as county relieffood distributors and instead play an oversight role. @UraiaTrust
@GabrielDolan1 @MUHURIkenya @KwachaAfrika @MombasaCGW The Mombasa CSOs Rapid Response Team has done wonderfully, and in due course will issue a comprehensive monitoring report on the #Covid19ReliefFood
#covid19relieffood Final Question.
What can the Rapid response team of Mombasa CSOs do to expose the errors in food distribution and correct them? @MUHURIkenya @KwachaAfrika @HakiYetuOrg @MombasaCGW
There must be drills, procedures and protocols during emergencies. Community resilience must be built to keep up with disasters.

Covid-19 pandemic is a wake-up call for the national and county governments to set legislative and policy framework to address similar outbreaks.

@GabrielDolan1 @MombasaCountyKe @HassanAliJoho @MUHURIkenya @SITUMAJOB @MombasaCGW @HakiYetuOrg So far what is seen in the media is a list of well wishers contributing food stuff to communities .. however @MombasaCountyKe through the @financemombasa have not shared whate the 200m is going to do . Approval of the same was questionable #covid19relieffood @HassanAliJoho
The package ratio hardly lasted three days. Families of up to eight had to share. Sh200 million would have made a huge difference.

@GabrielDolan1 @MUHURIkenya @HassanOmarH @MombasaCGW @OduorErnest @peterkazungu What's being experienced is that most politicians are politicizing the process... The genuinety of the whole process has been tarnished #covid19relieffood @CsosCoast @BobsonFadhili @Hivvo2 @SFCG_Kenya @UraiaTrust
Well-wishers must avoid publicity, respect the dignity of those receiving aid.
