- Governor's Bio
- Manifesto
H. E Abdullswamad Sherrif Nassir is the second Governor of the County Government of Mombasa.
Always keen and passionate about media and communications, he founded and successfully operated Radio Rahma and served as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until the year 2013 when he was elected to serve as the Member of Parliament for Mvita Constituency on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party ticket and rising to the seat previously held by his late father.

Kenya University.
During his decade-long tour of duty as MP, he worked faithfully and dutifully to represent the people of Mvita, legislate in their interests, defend Devolution and support the full implementation of the Constitution. Most importantly, he has been at the heart of efforts to unite the diverse communities residing in Mombasa county by creating a sense of communal belonging where everybody feels welcome regardless of religious or ethnic background.
The pinnacle of his Parliamentary service was his election as the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee which is the statutory committee mandated with the accounting oversight of state corporations. It was widely reported that he excelled in this role and saved the Kenyan taxpayer billions of shillings through his diligence and attention to detail.
The Governor has been at the forefront of defending the rights and resources of not just the people of Mombasa but the Coast at large because of his deep passion for the region’s potential to achieve greatness.
The solemn partnership that he has with the people of Mombasa has been recognized both locally and nationally. The Governor has a clear understanding of the challenges; he has confronted them as a Member of Parliament for the past ten years and has a plan to address them as the County Chief Executive. It is his mission to build on the gains made, learn from the shortcomings of the past, and partner with the residents, in making a deliberate leap into a new beginning for Mombasa.
The backbone of the Governor’s agenda is to bring a new way of doing things in Mombasa through public participation. A government by the people and for the people. A government that the public can trust because it is their government.
