Billionaire philanthropist's measured relationship with politicians at the Coast

The late Hasmukh Patel

Hasmukh Patel was not directly involved in politics, but he was a unifying figure who attracted politicians from all political affiliations.

Although there were instances where he had differences with politicians in Mombasa and Kilifi counties, where he had invested in charity and businesses, it was evident that he had a charm and magnetism that drew in politicians both from the Coast and nationally.
