Three armed men on Saturday night carjacked Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir and robbed him of cash, two mobile phones and a digital camera.
Mr Nassir said he was accosted by the thugs immediately after leaving his Radio Rahman office in Nyali, Mombasa County at around 12.10 am.
“I don’t want to speculate over what happened because it seems the thugs were waiting for me. They appeared from nowhere just as I was igniting the car and took the keys,” he said.
He said one of the men pointed a gun at his head as they frisked his pockets then took the camera and left.
“They only asked me what I do for a living and robbed me. They also took my parliament pass card,” he said.
The MP said he had a spare car key and was able to drive to Nyali police station where he reported the incident.
Mr Nassir said the thugs, who were armed with two pistols and an AK47 rifle, fled to the nearby Kongowea village.
He asked Kenyans to embrace the Nyumba Kumi concept saying it was the best way to combat crime.
Mr Nassir said he does not have a bodyguard, though he is entitled to one, as he is 'a man of the people'.
Mr Nassir called for the installation of CCTV at all crucial public and private establishments such as bridges, the ferry and parts of the Central Business District to beef up security.
