Retired President Daniel arap Moi's health has been a subject of public concern after he was hospitalized at Nairobi Hospital last week.
However, his spokesman Lee Njiru has dismissed claims that Moi is in the Intensive Care Unit, stating that he is recovering well and receiving medical care under the professional team led by his personal physician Dr. David Silverstein.
“I am happy to announce that Mzee Moi is recovering steadily and continues to receive medical care under the professional team led by his personal physician Dr. David Silverstein,” said Njiru as quoted by Sunday Nation.
“Mzee is okay. He is still in hospital … I saw him. Contrary to speculation on social media, Mzee Moi is not in the ICU. He is in the general ward and improves by the day,” he added.
It is worth noting that this is the second time in less than two weeks that Moi has been admitted to the hospital, with sources earlier saying he was experiencing breathing problems.
