Mama Mukami Kimathi, widow to Freedom Fighter is free to go home after President William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua offset a pending 1.3 million hospital bill.
Deputy Rigathi Gachagua and his wife visited Mukami at her hospital ward.
She was admitted to the facility on January 5, 2023, suffering from pneumonia and age-related complications and had been treated and discharged on January 12.
On Sunday evening, Deputy President Riggy G visited her at the hospital after he arrived in Nairobi from Nyanza from where he had accompanied the president on a two-day working tour. He was accompanied by some MPs from Mt Kenya.
DP Gachagua affirmed that President Ruto had cleared the bill, allowing Mukami Kimathi to go back home.
“Thank you, President William Ruto, for coming through for Mukami Kimathi and her family. You are a true and genuine friend of our people. Be blessed abundantly. Always,” Gachagua tweeted.
“We have cleared the bill and wish her complete recovery. We were not aware of her predicament as me and the president have been on a western Kenya tour and this was only brought to our attention yesterday,” Gachagua said at the hospital.
