A candidate who is a friend of Kenya, as well as in politics for many years, is running for the Lazio regional elections next Feb. 12 and 13, 2023 on the list of the ruling party Fratelli d'Italia.
Monica Ciccolini, a journalist and mother of two, has already been a regional councilor for Lazio twice: in 1995 with Alleanza Nazionale and later with Forza Italia in the 2005-2010 legislature, during which she also served as vice chair of the Culture, Tourism and Hotel Industry Committee. A lover of nature and animals, he "contracted Africa sickness" in the 1980s and since then Malindi has become his second home, so much so that he received from the hands of the then Mayor of Malindi, honorary citizenship by virtue of mutual exchanges with the Lazio region . Needless to say, his election may open possibilities for cooperation between Rome and Nairobi, with particular regard to tourism and travel. Think, for example, of direct air links also to Malindi and on the many bilateral opportunities in the sector.
As far as the Lazio region is concerned, Monica has very clear ideas: "One of the central pivots of my program is health care," she explains, "the goals are to abolish waiting lists for oncology patients through fast lanes , to increase the cooperation of the hospital system through a regional computer platform for booking, which will finally abolish booking faxes. Focus on the problems of Rome and Province with the reward incentive for differentiated waste and the waste-to-energy that will turn garbage into a resource , A single card x the mobility of the handicapped and ensure that the elderly can be considered a resource and not a burden on society."
