Former Likoni MP Masoud Mwahima Passes Away
Former Likoni MP Masoud Mwahima has passed away at the age of 78.
The retired politician succumbed to asthma complications at his home in Vyemani, Mombasa on Monday night, according to his family.
The deceased’s son, Juma Mwahima said his father had been admitted to the hospital until Sunday when he was discharged after his condition improved.
Mwahima served as Mayor of Mombasa from 1999 to 2002 before he captured the Likoni parliamentary seat in 2007, a position he served for two terms. He previously served as the Councilor for Shika Adabu ward and Likoni KANU branch Chairman.
President Kenyatta mourned Mwahima as a statesman, witty leader, and astute grassroots mobilizer.
“Mzee Mwahima was an approachable, witty and, visionary elder and leader who offered wise counsel and outstanding service to the people of Mombasa especially his Likoni Constituency for decades.”
“As a politician, Mzee Mwahima was a strong champion for community development projects, a trait that enabled him to rise through Mombasa politics having served as a Councilor, Mayor of Mombasa and MP for Likoni Constituency for two terms,” Uhuru said in a message of condolence to the family, friends, and relatives of Mwahima.

I challenge anyone to name a single thing he did for the people of Mombasa as a mayor or MP. He was just another nondescript kenyan politician who will not be missed by the people of Mombasa.
It says here that Mwadima was:
1. A statesman, witty leader, and astute grassroots mobilizer.
2 An approachable, witty and, visionary elder and leader who offered wise counsel and outstanding service to the people of Mombasa especially his Likoni Constituency for decades.
3. A politician who was a strong champion for community development projects, a trait that enabled him to rise through Mombasa politics having served as a Councilor, Mayor of Mombasa and MP for Likoni Constituency for two terms.
Never heard of him either.
