are now issue-driven when they meet, they only discuss what affects the people
they represent.
“Your Excellency, the leaders you see here, it is the first
time they have united solidly, it has never been like this. There have always
been two conflicting sides, and I feel very encouraged because they are issue-driven. When they sit ,they discuss issues that affect the people they lead,”

elected leaders in all levels from Mombasa, Tana River, Kilifi, Lamu, Kwale, and
