Goodbye to the land of coconut
And the view across the ocean
Where big ships sails with ease
And its beaches offer us pleasures
Goodbye to the pleasure
And the Mombasa girls
Who fancy dogs than straight men
And found in it sweetness
Goodbye to the fancies
Of eleven gals
Who even Mombasa poly denied
May be they came for a picnic from Narobi
The city of ruins brought to Mombasa
Goodbye to the ruins
The city port of Mombasa
That now some call the dog city
The private rooms in nyali they rented
A life of alcohol and sex
And sniffing of cocaine and heroine
That trouble us for long
The governor is working……
So now the governor is working
To shape the ruined past of Mombasa
We grapple with the future
And shape our new intentions,good-bye.

Benki
ya dunia jana ilisema Kenya haiko kwenye njia sahihi ya kufikia malengo
ya maendeleo ya milenia kabla ya mwaka 2015 kutokana na kuwa umaskini
wa kupindukia haujapunguzwa licha ya juhudi zilizofanywa. Mchumi
mwandamizi wa Benki ya dunia Bi Vandana Chandra amesema hali hiyo
inatokana na kuwa sera zilizowekwa na Kenya bado hazijatekelezwa vizuri.
Hata hivyo amesema hii haina maana kuwa hakuna matumaini, kwa kuwa kama
juhudi zikiongezwa mafanikio yanaweza kupatikana.
