Residents of Likoni are calling for amendments to the proposed Mombasa County Childcare Facilities Bill, 2026. During a public participation forum at Likoni Social Hall, stakeholders urged county authorities to reduce registration fees for childcare centers. Caregivers and education experts argued that lower costs are necessary to make compliance affordable for operators. The goal is to ensure that childcare facilities can operate legally without facing prohibitive financial burdens. These concerns highlight the tension between regulatory oversight and the economic reality of local providers. The forum served as a platform for child rights advocates and stakeholders to voice their opposition to the current fee structure. County officials are now expected to review these submissions before finalizing the legislation.
