“My father is in good health, ignore the rumors” Kibaki’s eldest son finally speaks

There have been different stories making rounds online claiming that the former president Kibaki is in a critical condition while others went on to say that he had passed on.

However, the rumors were shut down by Othaya Member of Parliament Mary Wambui who assured Kenyans that former president Mwai Kibaki was well through a statement that came as a relief to many Kenyans.

Jimmy who is Kibaki’s eldest son has also come out to confirm that his dad is in perfect condition unlike what many are saying. Speaking to the Nairobian, Jimmy urged Kenyans to ignore the baseless rumors which don’t make sense at all! He said,

“Mzee is well, he goes for his regular check-ups and the doctors say he is in good health. I see him regularly and I can confirm that he is okay.”

He went on to appreciate those who have been praying for his fathers health and went on to add that his family would definitely inform the public if anything was to happen to the former president.

“He served his country for many years, and we know Kenyans are concerned about Mzee’s health. But I want to assure them that he is enjoying his retirement with his family around him. I ask Kenyans to ignore rumours about Mzee’s health. He is in good health. As a family, we will let Kenyans know if there is any news about the retired president. It is wrong to start claiming he is hospitalised, yet he is well. It’s simply wrong. If by any chance Mzee is unwell, we will let Kenyans know, but for now, there is no cause for alarm.”

The former president’s health has however not been the same as he suffered a stroke that saw him seek medical attention in South Africa last year, August.

But what Kenyans should know is that he is alive and still healthy.
