The Mombasa Walk Movement presented this petition to Mombasa County Governor Abdulswamad Nassir on March 18th 2023 with the primary objective of raising public awareness about the merits of walking as a means to maintain fitness and combat health-related issues.
Founder Abdirahman Idris has successfully brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds, united by a shared passion for walking. This petition serves as a catalyst for change, urging Mombasa County to envision a future where a walkable city becomes a reality. This would lead to reduced fuel consumption and commuting costs, as well as enhance the physical and mental well-being of the population.
Additionally, this progressive approach would contribute significantly to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from road transport, resulting in a cleaner and more sustainable city for both present and future generations.
The residents of Mombasa eagerly await the county's response and hope that their collective voice will herald the dawn of a new era in transportation and well-being.
