Kibaki’s close family members ensured that his health and admission were kept confidential.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is one of the select few who have been allowed access to the most sensitive information.
Uhuru has always been informed of Kibaki’s health, and on Thursday, April 21, he seized command of the course, closely monitoring his predecessor’s progress.
In an interview with KTN News on Friday, April 22, National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya disclosed that due to the ongoing pandemic, the late president’s family restricted visitors who came to see him.
“For the last six months, he spend most of his time with his family. Obviously, at his age, the vulnerabilities were much more and we understood that he doesn’t require a lot of interaction.”
“We all provided that protection because when he saw people, he was eager to meet them. He spent most of his time in Muthaiga keeping up with his appointments with the doctors. He has rested a happy man,” he disclosed.
