As millions of Kenyans gear up to usher in the New Year 2024, fireworks are expected to rock different parts of the country.
A quick spot check by KNA in Mombasa shows most of the entertainment spots, recreational parks, and churches have lined up different activities.
GTC/AVIC is set to spend a staggering Sh 150 million for a grand New Year’s Eve (NYE) fireworks show which will be done off their building.
Kenyans are eager to witness the historical fireworks show which is designed and choreographed by Jays Pyrotechnics.
‘I will spend New Year’s eve with my family at the newly refurbished Mama Ngina Water Front. I can’t wait to capture the moments,’ said John Mureithi, a resident of Nairobi on holiday in Mombasa.
On his part, Mombasa Deputy Commissioner Ronald Mwiwawi said that security has been heightened across the island, noting that anybody arrested for robbing others will face the full force of the law.
‘I urge you to show love to our visitors and the less privileged members of the society since c
oastal residents are known for their kindness, let us not lose the honour this city is known for,’ said Mwiwawi during a press briefing at Mama Ngina Water Front.
Organiser of the Mombasa International Festival (MIfest) Charles Kitula says they have been running different activities since Christmas day and the event will culminate on New Year’s Eve.
‘Holidaymakers should expect a lot of entertainment, mouthwatering coastal cuisines, and cultural heritage,’ said Kitula urging Kenyans to come out in their numbers.
