Govt Pledges 500K To Gunshot Victim

The boy was allegedly injured when 9 suspected gunmen shot and killed a Mombasa businessman, Shahid Butt, in Changamwe.

 

Mombasa County Commissioner Nelson Marwa during his visit to the child’s family said that the money which will be sent from the office of the deputy president will be deposited into the boy’s account on Monday next week.

 

At the same time, Marwa said that the government will give job opportunities to 3 family members of the boy.

 

“This will be part of the state commitment to ensure that the family lives like other citizens in the country.” he said.

 

Marwa condemned the shooting and urged the local residents to work with the police in giving any information related to crime in order to help bring peace in the county.

 

Mrs. Farida Abeid, the boy’s grandmother, was among the family members who welcomed the government officials in their home in Changamwe.
