Former President Daniel Moi has been re-admitted to Nairobi Hospital only two days after he was discharged. Sources have informed local publication, The Star, that the veteran was rushed back to the hospital on Saturday morning.
It was not immediately clear whether he was taken back to ICU, where he was before he was discharged, or to the general ward in the VIP section.
“He was brought back but it is not clear which ward he has been taken to. His security detail is seen around and his family members have also been seen. I am not sure, but I will get back. I will call back,” Moi’s long-serving press secretary, Lee Njiru said.
Moi’s spokesman, who resides in Nakuru county, said he was not aware that the former president had been hospitalised.
Lee announced on Thursday last week that the retired President had been allowed to go home after spending 10 days in the hospital.
Moi’s medical team led by his personal physician David Silverstein gave him a clean bill of health and said he would be monitored from his Kabarnet home, Nairobi.
“The Moi family has expressed gratitude to all those who offered prayers and sent quick recovery messages,” he said hours after Moi left the hospital.
This is the third time the 95-year-old former head of state has been admitted to the hospital in less than two months. Doctors say he has recurring chest complications that affect his breathing.
