Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has now distanced itself from the continued stay of a prime murder suspect at the facility.
In a detailed press statement, KNH said it had no intention of hosting Kennedy Kalombotole after his discharge but was left with no alternative, saying it was acting on the instructions of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). "We emphasise that the suspect had been discharged, and the hospital did not intend or desire to host him indefinitely.
However, in the absence of alternative options and pending direction from investigative agencies, we had no choice but to continue with his stay in the hospital," said Dr Sigilai, the hospital's acting CEO.
KNH further explained that Kalombotole was first admitted to the ICU in 2022 and later transferred to the general ward.
