Environment Minister John Michuki is dead
The 80-year-old minister was admitted to the Aga Khan University Hospital on Sunday morning, only two days after arriving from the United Kingdom where he was undergoing treatment.
On Monday, Government Spokesman Alfred Mutua sent a statement to newsrooms in an apparent move to clear the air amid rumours and speculation in the social media about the minister’s health.
In his brief, Dr Mutua said the Kangema MP “was undergoing medical procedures and is responding well to treatment.’’
In a press statement, President Kibaki said Michuki was a focused public servant, a determined businessman and issue-oriented politician.
“Michuki was a true family friend and a dependable ally,” said President Kibaki.
Michuki was taken ill early Sunday and was rushed to the Aga Khan University Hospital where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
He flew to the UK a few days before Christmas and had been there since.
His last official function was the climate change conference in Durban from November 28 to December 9.
