Former President Mwai Kibaki is admitted at The Nairobi Hospital.
According to reports by a local daily, Kibaki was admitted to hospital on Monday after he complained of pain on his knee.
Kibaki, 88, was in London last week for a series of medical checks where his knee was also examined. It is understood that Mzee’s knee has been paining.
“Mzee was taken to the hospital for some check-ups but we are praying for him,” a family source was quoted by the local daily.
But Kibaki’s Private Secretary Ngari Gituku vehemently denied that the ex-President was admitted. He described him as “cheerful and alert.”
Gituku said The Nairobi Hospital is one of the facilities the former Head of State occasionally visits for medical attention.
“It could be one of the medical facilities where he occasionally seek medical attention. That doesn’t mean he is there,” Gituku was quoted.
Kibaki’s predecessor Daniel Moi is also undergoing treatment at the same hospital.
