The door to door food distribution comes after allegations that the village elders were biased in the registration exercise. Some village elders blocked some people from registering citing that the food was meant for coastal based natives. 


Mombasa county however set aside Sh 200 Million but with a budget of Sh 700 Million that was to be sourced from well-wishers and county partners.


The county already has 72 cases of the naval virus. The cases are expected to rise to 240 with the four matrices given by the health CS Mutahi Kagwe during the daily briefing in the next 14 days as mass testing processes underway.

" The Government is planning to do mass testing, then people are still moving around re-infecting. The State needs to come up with strict measures to contain the virus and that will be the only way the country will get back to work as soon as possible, " the Governor added.
