The Speaker of Parliament, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, is likely to stay much longer at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya because of fatigue and hectic work schedule, her press secretary, Mr Sam Obbo, has said.
“I don’t think she can be discharged this time. It’s still too early to discharge,” Mr Obbo said, without revealing more details. He said it is only the official government media centre allowed to issue formal communications about her condition.
Ms Kadaga was referred to Nairobi upon advice of doctors at Nakasero Hospital where she was first admitted on Thursday.
Kadaga’s mother, Ms Eva Nagoya Kadaga, has also revealed that she is recovering. Ms Nagoya said on Saturday she was with the speaker when she was being flown out for treatment and that there is no cause for alarm.
“I am glad that she has improved and I look forward to her return. Even the Parliament spokesperson has gone on radio and relayed the same promising news,” she said
Ms Nagoya also refused to reveal the disease afflicting her daughter.
She added that it’s the family that requested the President to fly the Speaker to Nairobi for specialized treatment.
“We spoke to President Museveni and asked him to prevail on one of the loyal people of his government and he agreed to assist,” she said.
