Suspended Youth and Gender Affairs PS Lilian Omolo is still at
Kenyatta National Hospital, two weeks after she reportedly fell in
court.
Acting KNH chief
executive Thomas Mutie refused to divulge Ms Omollo’s sickness and
details except to say that she was still in the private wing of the
hospital.
“We are not allowed to release such details to the press without a patient’s consent,” Dr Mutie said.
He also refused to say if a doctor appointed by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations had examined her.
EXAMINE PS
DCI chief George Kinoti had said he would organise for a doctor to examine the PS later on Monday.
Prime Care private wing deputy head Julia Tinanga also refused to reveal the patient’s details.
Last Wednesday, the Anti-Corruption Court directed the police to visit Ms Omollo in hospital and find out if she is admitted.
RAISED CONCERNS
A
team from the DCI is investigating the Ministry of Health and the
Prisons Department regarding her admission, which has raised concerns
that she is being shielded from remand life by powerful colleagues and
State officials.
A letter from
the hospital on Thursday asked that she be excused from court sessions,
but the DCI wanted an independent doctor to examine the PS.
According
to the medical report signed by consultant physician Stanley Ngare and
presented in court, Ms Omollo “is still not stable enough to attend
court proceedings and requires continued care in hospital”.
