Jubilee MCA Dies of COVID-19 Complications in Mombasa

Mahoo Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Ronald Sagurani has passed away.

Sagurani, who was also the leader of minority in Taita Taveta County Assembly, died at a Mombasa hospital on Tuesday night. Reports indicate that the politician died of COVID-19 complications while undergoing treatment at Pandya Hospital in Mombasa.

He was admitted to the health facility two weeks ago and has been battling the illness in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) until his death. His death was confirmed by Taita Taveta County Assembly Speaker Meshack Maghanga and Governor Granton Samboja.

“His unmatched dedication to serving not only the people of Mahoo but the entire county of Taita Taveta has seen devolution achieve a lot through quality service delivery and development. MCA Sagurani was a foremost leader who served his people diligently,” Governor Samboja in a statement.

President Kenyatta mourned the Jubilee Party Ward Representative as a progressive grassroots politician.

“As a party, we have lost a progressive leader who was dedicated to the service of his community. His commitment to improving the lives of wananchi at the grassroots endeared him to many, propelling him to be elected twice to represent Mahoo Ward,” Uhuru said.

“We appreciate his commitment to improving the agricultural sector within the County of Taita Taveta, and especially banana farming where he championed for value addition.”
