Why Coast MP finally ‘gave up on his son’

The law does not discriminate and children of prominent personalities in Kenya have often found themselves in the dock.

In April this year, Matuga MP Hassan Mwanyoha welcomed a Kwale court ruling that sentenced Mafanikio Mwanyoha and his accomplice, Hussein Hassan, to death for robbery with violence.

“He is above 18 years and is the one who knows best whether he committed the offence or not,” the MP told reporters in response to the sentencing of his son, Mafanikio.

His position on the matter was lauded by among others Kwale County Woman Representative, Zainab Chidzuga, who claimed that, “The MP had bailed out his son from custody more than three times and had given up on his son’s criminal tendencies.”

Mafanikio is facing another robbery with violence charge at the Mombasa High Court.

The case will be heard on May 30 this year.
