The ODM Deputy Party Leader also extended his condolences to Maamun Ali’s family, friends, and the entire Mambrui community, as well as the broader Magharini region, wishing them strength as they hold onto cherished memories and the enduring legacy Maamun leaves behind.
Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung’aro also expressed his grief, saying, “I am profoundly saddened and at a loss for words upon learning this unexpected news.
