She added that consequently, the Lord Mayor traveled to Nairobi earlier this week, arrived safely and was checked into Nairobi Hospital. “I spoke to the Lord Mayor Today morning, he is stable and undergoing numerous tests,” Nyanjura confirmed.
This is the second time in less than a year that Lukwago, a well-known opposition figure in the country, is traveling to Nairobi for treatment.
Sometime last year, Lukwago was admitted to Nairobi hospital after test results indicated that he had acute anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction to some foods, insects, stings and medicine.
