A personal appeal to the government



A personal appeal to the government


I wish to appeal to the government to rescind the order that all import cargo to be transported  by SGR.This order will kill the trading centers along Mombasa - Nairobi route.If you go to history,you will find that trade is a major factor of shops,hotels and resting places built along Mombasa -Nairobi route.The drivers who number over 20,000 will be rendered jobless which will affect the economy of Mombasa County.There will be destitutes and crime will soar.These 20,000 have dependants and families whom they pay school fees,rent houses and provide for them.The transport companies will lay off these drivers and it will escalate unemployment in Kenya and Mombasa.The economy along Mombasa-Nairobi route will be affected.The hospitality industry along the highway will be affected as the drivers are their biggest customers.The SGR is making enough money without this directive.Let the government which vowed to protect its citizens rescind this directive for the benefit of the citizens and Mombasa residents.If the government has promised to add more jobs, let these ones already there be preserved for the benefit of the youth and children and the unemployed.The government would not like families to disintegrate.This is the second blow to Mombasa County as the first one was the moving of CFS to Nairobi and all clearing and forwarding companies moved to Nairobi and jobs were lost.ln Mombasa County we know there are leaders who are now satisfied and are now first asleep as residents continue suffering.Let the government rescind the decision that all import cargo be transported by SGR.
