Just a few weeks after being taken out of the hospital, reports say that former President Mwai Kibaki has been admitted again to a Nairobi hospital.
The former President is said to have been taken to the Nairobi Hospital on Monday evening and is currently receiving treatment.
His family is yet to comment on the issue but sources within the hospital told a local publication that Kibaki was being treated for a similar condition that had taken him previously.
“Mzee is around being taken care of by his doctors. He has undergone several tests once again to try to establish what could be the cause of the much pain he is in,” a source at the hospital told the Star.
The former head of state was admitted at the same facility last month and had been treated for severe pain at the lower abdomen.
His private secretary Nagri Gituku dismissed claims by a publication saying Kibaki had been admitted. According to Gituku, Kibaki was treated and discharged the same day, adding that it was a routine check-up for the ex-president.
Officers privy to the government security operations told the Star that Kibaki was booked under a code name and the whole floor secured. The move according to them was to guarantee his security.
“Only a top nurse, specific doctor(s), and his personal doctor are allowed to attend to him,” the source said.
In September 2019, Kibaki was flown to London for a series of medical check-ups following a knee problem that was rectified.
