About Us

Changamwe Constituency, located in Mombasa County, Kenya, is a vibrant and historically significant area. It was one of the original constituencies in the Mombasa district before the 2010 constitutional changes, which led to the creation of additional constituencies like Jomvu and Nyali.

Changamwe is a dynamic and significant urban area. Known for its strategic importance, it houses key infrastructure such as the Moi International Airport and the Port of Mombasa, which are vital to Kenya's economy and global trade connections. The constituency is divided into five wards: Airport, Chaani, Kipevu, Changamwe, and Port Reitz, each contributing to its vibrant socio-economic and cultural landscape.

The current Member of Parliament for Changamwe is Hon. Omar Mwinyi Shimbwa, who represents the constituency in the National Assembly.

NG-CDF is a major driving force that has enabled Wananchi to participate in the devolved units as per the current constitution. The people have participated in the formulation and implementation of development programs focusing on economic empowerment and enhancement of living standards. Transparency and accountability are the clarion calls in the allocation and utilization of public development finances.

The developmental agenda of the constituency is spearheaded by the Changamwe National Government Constituency Development Fund Committee (NG-CDFC). A Fund Account Manager, who is an officer of the NG-CDF Board and seconded to the constituency, coordinates the activities of the Constituency Committees and also serves as an ex-officio member of the NG-CDFC. The committee focuses on ensuring equitable distribution of resources and implementing development initiatives for the benefit of all constituents.
