On October 17, Senior Counsel Paul Muite informed the Senate about Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s hospitalization due to intense chest pains. Muite revealed that he had spoken with the doctors attending to Gachagua at Karen Hospital, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
The admission highlights growing concerns about the health of political leaders, particularly in high-pressure roles like that of the Deputy President.
“I would like to inform honorable Senators that I’ve been able to contact the doctors at Karen Hospital, and because of his condition I was not able to directly talk to him on the advice of his doctors who said he must have complete rest for the time being. I was however, informed by his doctors that he’s currently suffering intense chest pains. I did not want to inquire beyond that,” Muite said.
