The County Government of Mombasa has intensified efforts to upgrade sports infrastructure as part of a broader strategy to nurture young talent and steer youth away from crime, drug and substance abuse.
The move comes amid concerns that the shortage of adequate sports grounds is contributing to rising social vices among idle youth. The National Police Service recently warned that young people involved in criminal activities would face the full force of the law, following a resurgence of juvenile gangs in parts of Mombasa and Kilifi that have terrorised residents.
