Migori Governor Okoth Obado has reportedly been admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) after falling ill while at the Industrial Area Remand Prison.
The embattled governor is currently admitted at the KNH private wing, Citizen Digital reports.
Sources say Obado was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after suffering from what is believed to be Malaria.
Obado has been behind bars for the past one week after he was arrested and charged with the murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
Last Thursday, the court ordered the governor be detained until October 8th when his application for bail will be reconsidered alongside that of his co-accused.
On Monday, the government dismissed reports that Obado is being accorded VIP treatment at the detention facility.
“We wish to state categorically that Hon. Obado has not been given any preferential treatment in terms of accommodation, clothing, feeding and visits which are all regulated in accordance to Prisons and Regulations,” said Prisons Commissioner General Isaiah Osugo in a statement to newsrooms.

I concur. They never even try to disguise their bs
I do not feel sorry for him. He was the mastermind of this heinous crime where two people were knifed to death. They should return him back the cell asap. We are watching this case very closely. He ought to be treated like any other suspect.
Who are they fooling? We know that is how it goes. The big thugs fake a sickness in order send to hospital (Private wing of KNH). Why not the general ward where two people share a bed. He could have shared a bed with another prisoner.
Give us a break...Yes!Who are they fooling? We know better than that.
I am advocating for this suspect to be moved ASAP to General unit, get his chroloquines 4-2-2-2-2 and get back to Industrial area jail haraka.
Ama kuna hidden agenda, Daktari apeane order ya ku-discharge home? We are hooked into this case-we are following like never before
Kenyans,
Unfortunately Mr Obado is going to walk Scot free !!!!!
Despite orchestrating the murder.
Unfortunately there's nothing we are gonna do about it!!
The preferential treatment continues. Just few days ago he was sleeping on a mattress at Industrial Area jail and now he is in a private wing at KNH "very sick" Similar to the former PS of NYS Lilian Omolo. The old tricks continue and before we know it he will be out. Generally people swallow malariaquine(sp) when they get malaria.
