Mwai Kibaki’s aide has dispelled reports claiming that the retired president is currently admitted to the hospital in Nairobi.
Speaking to Daily Nation, Kibaki’s private secretary Ngari Gituku allayed fears about the 88-year-old former president’s health status, noting that he was at Nairobi Hospital on Monday for a routine medical check-up.
“It was a normal visit and there is nothing new,” said Gituku.
He added: “At his age and stature, they can check anything (during routine medical trips), including the hair follicle, the prostrate and eyesight.”
Kibaki’s visit to Nairobi Hospital came on the same day his predecessor Daniel Arap Moi was readmitted to the same facility.
Moi’s press secretary Lee Njiru said the 95-year-old was taken to hospital for his routine examination adding that he was “alert and conscious of his surroundings.”
In August 2016, Kibaki underwent an operation at Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in South Africa to remove a blood clot in a vein in his neck.
Kibaki is set to celebrate his 89th birthday on November 15th.

This Gituku guy is so arrogant...ati even his HAIR follicles....is he mocking Kenyans??? He should just have said ameenda kuona Moi. Two presidents earning from the coffers is misuse of taxpayers money. NEW RULE: only one retired president can be taken care by the nation at any one time; so right now Kibaki should be the only one on payroll...then Uhuru akiretire, Kibaki gets off. Some of these Gitukus and Njirus can organize to keep these guys on life-support foreverever so they can keep their jobs and huge allowance. NKT
Kibaki and Moi should share a room at Nairobi hosp and one Raila Amolo Odinga should be their nurse.
Mwakilishi has outlived ignorance and Misogyny in order to register big numbers. At this point and time, we should have the management weed out Insulting hurtful and hateful designed contributions.
Wishing another human death or outright denigrating and stereo typing persons because of their tribal of or standing in society should have no room in a growing media platform.
The User Name Mugikuyu; Impostor and "Guest" are notoriously standing out when it comes to all the above.. Its sad. Moi, Kibaki, Rail, and others are Children of God too. Fathers and Grand-fathers of people who read this esteemed Paper. Spare them the insults please.
I totally agree... Wishing death to another human just shows how cheap one's mind is... @Guest ...i hope u are not a terrorist...they are the one's who always wish others dead.. If u are... Our authorities will handle u too.. U will not go unpunished.
Moi is dead.
Mwaki Kibaki and Mama Ngina are next.
All that money they looted they cannot afford to buy themselves 100 more years.
So money is just paper??!!!
Aaaaahhhh..... we are all equal under God.
RIP Father Kaiser.
RIP all the people killed by the Kenyan government.
