"This is the time i immigrated to europe!Mombasa was clean.neat,romantic filled with incennse of "Udi sticks",perfumes,spieces etc.Today you smell the bad ,filthy odour from the sgr station at miritini! Mombasa has become dirty following the food/fruits street vendors who throw away every thing at the streets! This has not been our culture at all! Restore our pride His Exceii,Abswammad Nasir.Joho did his best,but some communities must change in terms of hygien!
