Augustine Kamande, popularly known as “Mwafrika”, is a Kenyan politician and the Member of Parliament for Roysambu Constituency in Nairobi City County. He was elected to the National Assembly in August 2022 on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, defeating the incumbent and taking over representation of one of Nairobi’s fastest-growing urban constituencies. Prior to his election to Parliament, he had already built a profile as a vocal grassroots leader and ward representative (MCA), giving him visibility in Zimmerman–Kahawa–Githurai politics well before 2022. Away from the campaign trail, Kamande’s biography is marked by a policing and security background and later work in sales, small business and community mobilisation. Public records and civic profiles indicate that he served as an officer in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Kenyan police, before moving into the private sector as a salesman and later into full-time politics. Since entering Parliament, he has framed his agenda around making Roysambu a “self-sufficient urban constituency,” with visible emphasis on roads, basic infrastructure, school facilities and safety, while maintaining an accessible “man of the people” public persona through social media and local events.
