Mohammed Ali (often styled Mohamed Ali and popularly known as “Moha Jicho Pevu”) is a Kenyan politician, former investigative journalist and media personality who has represented Nyali Constituency in Mombasa County since 2017. He first won the seat as an Independent candidate in 2017 after losing the ODM primaries, then retained it in the 2022 general election on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, making him one of the most prominent Kenya Kwanza figures at the Coast. In the 13th Parliament he sits on the National Assembly’s Special Funds Accounts Committee and has carved out a profile as a vocal anti-corruption and accountability crusader, frequently leveraging his media skills and social platforms to publicise constituency projects, NG-CDF-funded education bursaries and service-delivery campaigns in Nyali. Before politics, Ali spent more than a decade in investigative journalism, rising from a TV producer at KBC and radio presenter at Pwani FM and Radio Salaam to Chief Investigations Editor at KTN from 2007 to 2017. He became a household name through the hard-hitting Jicho Pevu series, which exposed crime, terrorism, corruption and state excesses and often ran in tandem with English-language investigations fronted by John-Allan Namu, helping to define a new era of watchdog journalism in Kenya. Born in Isiolo County in 1979, he studied journalism at Newslink College of Journalism (Diploma, 2000–2002) and later completed a BSc in Communication and a Master’s in Diplomacy and Foreign Policy at Moi University, adding academic depth to his transition from newsroom to legislature.
