The reason countries in the west are able to transit from one Prime Minister to another or from one President to another smoothly is because there are systems in place. These are not countries that are monopolized by a few people within the centre of politics because services are rendered, people enjoy the economic benefits and there is equality in opportunities both in terms of employment and business. Mombasa is called the port city. If there is any institution that is said to be national, it is the Port of Mombasa. If you visit institutions all over the country, you find that they are heavily populated by people from those areas. When I was a student, I travelled quite a bit in Rift Valley and certain parts of this country. You will find that a managing director of an institution has a name that is familiar to the area he comes from. When you come to Port of Mombasa, we are always told it is a national asset. As my counterpart from Kwale County warned, the younger generation of the leadership of Coastal Province will not entertain these kinds of things that we have seen from one successive generation to another."
