, November 12, by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, who described it as a great loss to the country and Parliament.
“It is with profound sorrow that I inform you and the nation of the demise of our esteemed colleague, the Member for Isiolo South Constituency, Tubi Bidu Mohamed, MP, who has left us this evening while receiving treatment at the Nairobi Hospital,” the Speaker said in a statement.

Today, our nation mourns the passing of Hon. Mohamed Tubi, MP for Isiolo South, who succumbed after a long illness,” Duale said, extending his condolences to the family and the people of Isiolo South.
