Mrs. Nancy Karigithu, to the best of my knowledge, originally came from Kirinyaga and was then married in Mombasa. So, I am not sure which is her county but she has been in Mombasa since the 1980s. Col.(Rtd.) Joseph Nguru, I am not even sure where his county is but he came from the military. He was the initial founder chairman of the Maritime Authority. He has been there. It is something I need to check but I know he has lived in Mombasa virtually all his life. I believe that is why he was appointed. We needed somebody who is within Mombasa to take up that responsibility and somebody who had some military training. I actually believe that we have done what we needed to do. It is unfortunate that I lost one good member from Ndhiwa whom I had appointed and she decided to go to politics. I am hoping that she can reconsider and then I can fix her back because she was a very good member of this Board."}
