Azym Dossa, the founder and former managing director of Easy Coach, has passed away. The company announced his death on February 26, 2026, highlighting his role in building the transport firm from a small operation into a major regional brand. Dossa stepped down from leadership in early 2025 due to health issues.
Easy Coach, a prominent Kenyan bus company operating over 50 buses across 100 destinations, announced the death of its founding director, Azym Dossa, on February 26, 2026. In a statement, the firm expressed deep sadness, calling him a visionary leader whose guidance shaped the company from its inception. His contributions to the transport sector and in establishing Easy Coach as a recognized brand for safety and customer service were emphasized as enduring legacies.
Dossa, a Kenyan entrepreneur and philanthropist, launched Easy Coach in 2003 after returning from Canada at age 50, starting with just seven buses despite initial discouragement. Prior to this, he had nearly 20 years of experience as chief financial officer at Akamba Bus. Under his leadership, the company expanded significantly, introducing innovations such as comfortable passenger lounges and stricter safety protocols for long-distance travel.
In early 2025, Dossa relinquished active management due to health challenges, passing the role to Zulfiqar Adatia. The company extended condolences to his family and loved ones, offering prayers for their strength during this time of mourning. His story reflects a transition from corporate employment to successful entrepreneurship in Kenya's competitive transport industry.
