Somalia — The body of one of the transitional Federal MPs has been found in a Muna hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials told Shabelle radio on Saturday.

The body of the lawmaker was found in the toilet of Muna, a hotel around the presidential palace in the Somali capital and called Mohamed Hussein Ra'is according to high officials of the transitional government in Mogadishu.

Professor Mohamed Omar Dalha, the deputy speaker of the transitional parliament had confirmed the death of the lawmaker to Shabelle radio and television saying that there had no been any other further more about his death.

"The time of our colleague has ended and there is no other more information about his death. I am sending my deep condolence to the family and relatives of the deceased legislator Mr. Mohamed Hussein Ra'is. He was substituted to another MP and I knew that he was fine, may Allah rest his life into the paradise." said Prof. M. Dalha.

"Oh! We knew that he was all right and very fine yesterday. We do not know what happened to him and what has caused his death. It is suppressible matter," some of the legislators were shouting each other as they had simply found his body in the hotel.

It is the first time that one of the transitional parliamentarians dies in the Somali capital Mogadishu in the New Year 2010 though there had been several parliament members who died in the country for different reasons in over the past year 2009.
