If you are a social media user or a fan of Kikuyu music you must have come Kamande Wa Kioi at some point. He is among the popular Kikuyu musicians who have been able to stay on top of Kikuyu music industry for more than two decades. Few days ago he was admitted in hospital and Kenyans have been wondering what has been wrong with him. Some hours ago Kikuyu journalist visited him in hospital where he talked about which disease he is battling.
According to him, the first time he was sick was in 2017 after food poisoning and he was given the wrong medication. It was said that he had a kidney failure which he refused and at the end of the day after dialysis everything went back to normal. The doctor could not believe it since they wanted to remove his kidneys saying he couldn’t survive after he was stayed in ICU for some days.
He said that few days ago he was feeling unwell and he went for a checkup only to be admitted. He went ahead and said the doctor said he had water in his heart which had made his legs swell. He also had high blood pressure and he slept in a machine. He couldn’t walk properly but now he feels that he is getting well and he can go back home. He has been asked to stay in hospital for some days to make sure he will go home a healed man.
He said that getting sick doesn’t mean someone is dying and therefore Kenyans should always accept they are sick and fight the disease rather than living in denial.
