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.
