Changamwe Member of Parliament Omar Mwinyi is mourning the passing of his beloved mother, Mama Mwanaisha Rajab, a loss that has drawn an outpouring of sympathy from leaders and residents across the Coast region.

The death comes nearly two years after the MP lost his wife, Rukiya Hatib, in 2024, a tragedy that deeply affected his family and constituents.

Leaders from across Mombasa and beyond have visited the family to offer condolences and stand in solidarity during the difficult period of mourning.

Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir, who paid a condolence visit to the lawmaker, expressed his sympathies and described the late Mama Mwanaisha Rajab as a cherished matriarch.

“I paid a condolence visit to my elder brother, Hon. Omar Mwinyi (MP, Changamwe), following the passing of his beloved mother, Mama Mwanaisha Rajab. I extend my deepest sympathies to the family during this moment of profound loss. May Allah (SWT) grant her Jannatul Firdaus and give the family strength, patience, and comfort. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji‘un,” said Governor Nassir.

Mombasa Senator Mohammed Faki also conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family, acknowledging the pain of losing a parent and offering prayers for strength and comfort.

“I wish to convey my deepest condolences to Changamwe MP Hon. Omar Mwinyi and the entire family following the passing of your beloved mother, Mama Mwanaisha Rajab. Losing a parent is never easy, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time of grief and remembrance. May Allah (SWT) grant her eternal rest, forgive her shortcomings, and grant your family strength, patience, and comfort. May her legacy of love and guidance continue to live on through all whose lives she touched. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un,” said Senator Faki
