Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir announced free medical services at county hospitals until October 31. The initiative honors the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The decision follows a national tribute to Odinga.
The governor stated all patients seeking treatment during October would not pay for services. The move is part of a month-long commemoration of Odinga’s legacy. Raila Odinga Junior joined local leaders in launching the tribute.
The tribute includes nationwide candle-lighting ceremonies. Odinga’s supporters began marking his legacy with events on October 2. The free treatment initiative reflects ongoing efforts to honor his contributions. The governor’s announcement aligns with broader national mourning activities.
