The Mombasa County government is set to introduce the 'Mombasa Resident’s Card', which will serve as an identity card for residents, subject to public approval.

• The county aims to offer discounts on essential services such as healthcare and education to cardholders.
• Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff emphasized that the card will include biometric information to promote transparency and reduce corruption.
• Each year, the county spends over KES 130 million on hospital fee waivers, and the card is seen as a means for targeted support.

The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) has called for action against Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi Chief Officer for Environment, for sharing a controversial video featuring a vulnerable street boy allegedly abusing jet fuel.

• 46,000 children live on the streets of Kenya, facing significant challenges.
• The video has provoked outrage, with the NGEC condemning Mosiria for “using children as content.”
• Despite gaining traction for his environmental initiatives, Mosiria has faced criticism for previous controversial videos, including a public clash with hawkers.
