Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has warned that the government may revoke the Kenyan citizenship of Mediheal Hospital founder Swarup Mishra and deport him, following findings from a task force investigating alleged kidney trafficking.
Duale, speaking on Friday in Uasin Gishu County, said the former Kesses Member of Parliament, who is originally from India, is potentially linked to a suspected organ trafficking ring. He further indicated that health facilities associated with Mishra could be shut down. "You cannot come to our country 20 years ago, with a bag, you make money selling our organs, become an MP, develop a culture of impunity, hire lawyers, and still attempt to intimidate us," he said. "If it means us revoking that citizenship, which is not by birth, we will do it.
We will close your hospitals and deport you.
We will use the Citizenship and Immigration Act.
