Former NASA CEO Norman Magaya has been flown to India for specialized treatment after suffering a series of heart attacks.
According to Philip Etale, the Communications Director of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Magaya will be under the care of expert doctors for the next 12 to 15 days.
Etale stated, 'Our colleague Mr Norman Magaya has left the country for further treatment abroad. We expect him to be away for 12 -15 days. During this time, he will be under the care of a panel of expert doctors.'
Magaya's health issues began in August 2017 when he collapsed at the national tallying centre in Bomas of Kenya during the tabulation of presidential votes after the general election.
His condition worsened in recent weeks, prompting ODM leader Raila Odinga to visit him at the hospital. Magaya was later admitted to the ICU at the Nairobi Hospital.
Etale assured that the ODM party remains committed to supporting Magaya in his medical journey, stating, 'The Orange party continues to stand with our luminary through this process until his return.'
