All public beaches in Mombasa are to be closed following a directive by Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sherrif Nassir.
Through a statement released on Friday, May 23, Nassir ordered the closure of the beaches for two days effective immediately. The orders were informed by an advisory by the Kenya Meteorological Department released on Thursday where they warned of strong southerly winds and large waves along the Kenyan Coast. Aside from the closure of the beaches, the governor announced the suspension of ocean-based activities both commercial and recreational.
Consequently, activities such as fishing and water sports were suspended until further notice. More to Follow...
