Hon. George Alli had described Elder Tor Shimbe as a great patriot who has demonstrated total commitment to the progress and development of the third tier of government and generally to the state.

However, Chief Alli was shocked to hear the death of the Shimbe barely two days after celebrating him on his birthday.
