Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff has revealed that the county is in the process of creating the 'Mombasa Resident's Card', which will act as an identity card to prove that one is a resident of the county.
Speaking at a public meeting on Thursday, July 10, the county chief stated that the cards will be created and distributed if the residents of Mombasa give the green light through a public participation process, which is expected to begin soon.
According to the governor, the card will enable residents to receive discounts when accessing essential services such as healthcare and education.
Abdulswamad added 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 county's service delivery.
