At 70, Willy Nduva, who served as Tudor councilor in Mombasa between 1988 and 1997, is proud to be part of the team that opened up Kenya's democratic space in the early 1990s.

This is what he said. "We joined the national liberation struggle as four Mombasa councillors. I was with Salim Bamahriz of Miritini, the late Luyali Luyai of Shimanzi and John Kaviu of Kipevu. Later in 1991, Islamic Party of Kenya preacher Salim Balala and chairman Omar Mwinyi became part of the movement.
