Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development, and Special Programmes, Geoffrey Ruku, led a food distribution drive in Mwakirunge, Kisauni, Mombasa County, reaching more than 1,000 families.
The initiative focused on supporting vulnerable mothers facing ongoing food insecurity.
CS Ruku was joined by Mombasa Woman Representative Zamzam Mohammed and Kisauni MP Rashid Bedzimba as they handed out essential food items to residents.
Many locals expressed appreciation, saying they felt seen and supported by the government.
Ruku emphasised that the distribution of food relief shows that the government is listening and taking action. “We’re not just giving food—we’re giving hope,” he said.
The Mwakirunge visit is part of a wider government relief effort that has seen food aid delivered to several regions hit by drought or floods, including Tana River, Ukambani, Garissa and parts of Nyanza.
During the event, CS Ruku outlined the government’s plan to reach every family affected by food insecurity, particularly in remote and underserved areas.
He also addressed the long-standing issue of land ownership in the region, assuring residents that the Ministry of Lands is working on lasting solutions. “Together with your MP, we will push for steps that bring you peace and security,” he said.
CS Ruku called on residents to support President William Ruto’s development agenda, pointing to renewed efforts to revive key projects in the Coast region.
He ended by urging public servants to serve with integrity, humility, and purpose. “Public office is not a privilege—it’s a duty to deliver for the people,” he said.
