Following last Sunday commentary on the Sunday Times, we happy to state that a Parliamentary Group of Coast Members of Parliament has assured Kenyans and the international community that the World Cross-Country Championships would proceed smoothly. The group was led by the powerful Transport minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere who is also the Matuga MP. The legislators noted that Coast residents had assured them they won’t disrupt the event as they had earlier threatened. The lawmakers added that athletes, IAAF delegates and other visitors and tourists would be safe.
While addressing a press conference in Nairobi at Parliament Buildings Minister Mwakwere was quoted by the press to have noted: "Coast people have pledged their support for the event and we assure everyone that there will be no ugly incidents."
The minister was flanked by his Coastal colleagues including the vocal State Minister for Heritage Suleiman Shakombo who noted: "Mombasa and Coast people’s hospitality is second to none."
