Mombasa Governor H.E. Abdullswamad Shariff Nassir has today sworn in the inaugural Board of the Mombasa County Revolving Fund, officially kick-starting the implementation of the Mombasa County Revolving Fund Act, 2026.

The Fund is expected to provide affordable financing to entrepreneurs, youth, women, persons with disabilities, cooperatives and small businesses, while promoting enterprise development, accountability and sustainable economic growth across the county.

Governor Nassir said the Fund is designed to unlock opportunities for residents by addressing one of the biggest barriers facing small businesses—access to affordable capital.

"Economic transformation begins when people with good ideas have access to the capital they need to grow. We are moving with urgency to operationalize this Fund so that businesses can access financing, create jobs and expand opportunities across Mombasa,” the Governor said.

He noted that the swearing-in of the Board marks a significant milestone in the County Government’s broader agenda of empowering residents and ensuring that Mombasa’s economic growth directly benefits its people.

The inaugural Board is chaired by Samuel Omondi Okech, with Munira Hamisi serving as Chief Executive Officer. Other members are Elizabeth Sonia Michael (Women Representative), Abduswamad Noor (Persons with Disabilities Representative), Hamza Kombo (Youth Representative), Hamisi Kurichwa (Chief Officer, Trade) and Swaleh Mwalizuma (Chief Officer, Finance and Economic Planning).
