"Mithiaru was a beloved and respected leader of our community, whose contributions to the entire spectrum of development to the Igembe North Constituency will always be remembered," said Igembe North MP Julius Taitumu of UDA.
Taitumu said: He was a dedicated servant of the people during his tenure as the MP and even before getting into politics. His passion was to make a positive impact on the lives of those he represented.
Former area MP Maore Maoka (2017-2022) said it was sad to lose Mithiaru who he described as a great leader of his people.
"He was an astute development-conscious leader with people's needs in his heart. Igembe North constituency and the whole of our country will miss his contribution to the society," Maoka said.
