Former Mandera South legislator Mohamed Adan Huka died on Sunday after battling an undisclosed illness for about a year.
Mr Huka died hours after returning to Nairobi from a hospital at the coast, his brother said.
“It is so unfortunate and sad that our brother died this morning after returning from Mombasa where he had been undergoing treatment,” said his brother Mr Abdi Adan Ali.
“He died at home … we are making arrangements for the burial this afternoon after prayers at the Lang’ata Cemetery.”
Mr Ali said the former MP had been sick for almost year after exiting politics under the infamous decree by the defunct Garre Council of Elders in Mandera.
Mr Huka was elected to the 11th Parliament in 2013, on a United Republican Party (URP) ticket under the Jubilee Alliance.
Just like former Mandera Senator Billow Kerrow, he abided by the elders’ decree barring him from seeking re-election in 2017 general election.
