Update on Kibaki's Health at Nairobi Hospital ¶
Former President Mwai Kibaki has been in hospital since June 19, 2020, after experiencing abdominal pain.
According to sources, doctors at Nairobi Hospital were managing the pain and that he was responding well to treatment.
He was checked into the VIP wing of Nairobi Hospital where visits can only be approved by those close to the statesman.
One of his aides revealed that Kibaki had been visiting the hospital for a routine check-up once or twice a month.
His last public appearance was during the late President Daniel Moi’s funeral in February 2020, where he was spotted in Parliament where his predecessor’s body had been lying in state.
Photos were taken of him paying his last respects, and Kenyans spotted his conspicuous shoes which were established to be orthopaedic shoes, especially designed footwear worn by people of all ages who suffer from uncomfortable foot mechanics.
