Veteran Kenyan actor Ken Ambani, famous for his role as ‘Baraza’ in the popular TV series ‘Tausi’, has been sworn in as Mombasa County Executive Committee Member (CECM).
He now serves as the Public Service, Administration, Youth, Gender, Social Services, and Sports CECM for the county.
Ambani’s appointment comes after Governor Abdulswamad Sharif Nassir nominated him and nine others to the Cabinet. The county assembly approved their appointments after vetting them in February. Ambani thanked the governor for the appointment and pledged to serve the county diligently. He wrote on his social media platforms,
“Out of several million Kenyans, you appointed me to be among your 10 CECMs. I don’t take it for granted sir! Thank you. Ready to serve Mombasa, so help me God.”
Governor Nassir expressed his confidence in the newly constituted Cabinet, urging them to work together to bring positive change to the county.
“I am proud to announce that Mombasa County now has a fully functional cabinet comprising of able County Executive Committee Members who I believe will bring the change that Mombasa needs. The real work of transformation has just begun. Let us put our political differences aside and bring change. Mombasa inapendeza huko mbele.” he said.

Ambani has been a prominent figure in the Kenyan film industry for over two decades, having acted in various productions, including Makutano Junction, Shuga, and Subira.

As the new Public Service, Administration, Youth, Gender, Social Services, and Sports CECM, Ambani has a huge task ahead of him. However, his vast experience and dedication to serving the county will undoubtedly make him an invaluable asset to the Mombasa County government.
