Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff has disclosed that the County is planning to create a ‘Mombasa Resident’s Card’.
According to the Governor, the card will enable residents to receive discounts when accessing essential services such as healthcare and education.
He also said that the cards, which will contain an individual’s biometric information as well as other details like their birthplace and residence, will be essential in eliminating corruption and fostering transparency in the country’s service delivery.
“Each year, we spend over KES 130 million in hospital fee waivers to ensure no #Mombasa resident is left behind. To make this support more sustainable and targeted, we are proposing the Mombasa Resident’s Card- your key to discounted rates across County public services”, the Mombasa Governor said.
“If you have the card, the County Government of Mombasa will ensure that you receive a discount when seeking healthcare through SHA without any problem, and also when we are giving out education bursaries and other things, we will first verify if you are a resident of the county”, he added.
