The Nairobi Hospital, days after he returned from treatment in London.
Family sources said Kenya's third president was admitted to hospital on Monday after he complained of pain on his knee.
Kibaki, 88, was in London last week for a series of medical checks where his knee was also examined. It is understood that Mzee's knee has been paining.
"Mzee was taken to the hospital for some check-ups but we are praying for him,” a family source told the Star.
But Kibaki’s Private Secretary Ngari Gituku vehemently denied that the ex-President was admitted. He described him as “cheerful and alert.”
Gituku said The Nairobi Hospital is one of the facilities the former Head of State occasionally visits for medical attention.
“It could be one of the medical facilities where he occasionally seek medical attention. That doesn’t mean he is there,” Gituku told the Star.
On Kibaki’s health, he said, “Despite his age, he is buoyant and lucid. Very alert! However, Kenyans go wrong to expect that at his age, he would remain as agile as Kipchonge. However, he is far much better than his age could allow.”
Our source refused to divulge more information. He only said, “he (Kibaki) is in the hospital for pain management
