Kenya’s National Super Alliance’s (Nasa) head of secretariat, Norman Amugira Magaya, was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit at the Nairobi Hospital on Tuesday, September 3.
Speaking to The Star on Saturday, September 7, Magaya’s elder brother,Reuben Amugira, accused Magaya’s wife, Alice Katunge, of blocking them from accessing the ailing politician.
“It took the intervention of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to help us to see him. I came with him on Tuesday,” he told the publication.
He alleged that Magaya’s wife had instructed the hospital to block anyone who wanted to see him from the facility.
It is reported that the ODM party wanted to fly Magaya to India for treatment but his wife is secretly planning to fly him to South Africa.
“We are told the woman is planning to fly him out to South Africa yet we had agreed with Raila that Magaya should be taken to India for specialized attention.
“Even my mother has been blocked from seeing his son. What is this?” his brother told The Star.
Magaya collapsed at Bomas of Kenya on August 10, 2017, during the verification of disputed presidential votes. It was reported that he was allegedly poisoned.
The NASA CEO, on Tuesday, September 3, told Kenyans.co.ke on phone that he was recuperating and did not want to be involved in controversies after bloggers alleged that the ODM party had neglected him.
“I was discharged on Friday, August 31, and I am under medication. On the other matter regarding ODM politics, I would not wish to be dragged into controversies,” Magaya told our newsdesk.
