PRESIDENT MWAI KIBAKI ADMITTED IN HOSPITAL

Ailing former President Mwai Kibaki is still at The Nairobi Hospital.

Kibaki, 89, was admitted to the hospital on March 9. 

Initially, he was being treated for what was described as low blood pressure, but reports indicate he is being treated for a condition that affects his immune system.

“He is still hospitalised. He is in the VIP ward. Due to Covid-19, only his doctors and authorised visitors are allowed to see him,” a source told the Star.

But his private secretary Ngari Githuku insisted that Kibaki has not been hospitalised for that long.

“Was the retired President in hospital? You people probably have more information about his health than I do,” he told the Star on the phone.

On March 11, days after he was admitted, Githuku had told the Star that Kibaki was in the hospital for a routine check-up.
