Each tourist hotel in Malindi will take over and manage a street in a major street lighting project launched by area MP Gideon Mung'aro.

Mr Mung'aro announced at the weekend that he had entered into negotiations with hotel owners, investors and private companies to light up the tourist destination.

"We want to change the face of Malindi, which is an important tourist destination in the country. We want to light up all the main streets so that our people can do business at night and tourists take a night stroll without fear of being mugged in the dark," he said at the weekend.'

Thanksgiving

The MP started by taking a "thanksgiving" tour of the constituency and attended a meeting at Gede before travelling to Mmumangani to attend a party hosted by ODM councillor Haggai Chome.

He proposed a freeze on the construction of new health facilities in the constituency to modernise and equip the existing ones.

"Instead of spreading poorly built and ill-equipped dispensaries everywhere, we should improve the existing ones. We should equip them and look for nurses and doctors to run them," he said.

The MP said road bumps should be erected at various points including Gede, Kijiwetanga and Sabaki Bridge following several deaths from speeding vehicles.
