Mombasa misses Cabinet slots as power base shifts to Kilifi, Kwale

Cabinet Secretary nominees Aden Duale, Aisha Jumwa and Kipchumba Murkomen.

In a new shift of political power at the Coast, Mombasa missed out on the list of the 22 Cabinet nominees sent to Parliament last week by President William Ruto for vetting, while Kilifi and Kwale counties have won big.

This is expected to exclude Mombasa, Coast's political and economic capital, from the country's apex decision-making body on governance, political and economic for the first time in 24 years.
