He retained the seat in the 1988 and 1992 elections and once served as Kanu Chief Whip. He was elected Kwale Senator in the March 4, 2013, general election.
Kwale governor and other members of the senate who were also friends were shocked after they heard the News. Boy Juma family friend and an Ambassador Ali Chirao Mwakwere also was among those who came to pay attributes to the fallen hero.
Boy Juma Boy will be remembered for the fight he had with people who evaded south coast and made the resident squatters. He was at the forefront of the fight against early pregnancies and hunger in Kwale. The ODM senator who is a friend to the Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has gone too soon because the opposition is fighting for democracy as depicted by the family friends.
