Former Nairobi County Governor Gideon Mbuvi, also known as Mike Sonko, has volunteered to assist former Citizen TV journalist Kimani Mbugua on his journey to recovery.
According to comedian and former radio presenter Oga Obinna, the young journalist, who has been struggling with psychological issues, is currently admitted to Mathare Hospital where he is receiving specialized treatment.
Sonko has now volunteered to transfer the young man from Mathare Hospital to the rehabilitation center at Mombasa Women’s Hospital after consulting with his parents.
“In consultation with Kimani Mbugua’s parents, I will pay his bill at Mathare Hospital and transfer him to Mombasa Women’s Hospital, the behavior rehabilitation center. For now, Conjestina Achieng is still there and doing well,” Mike Sonko said via his Twitter page.
The former governor made this statement after appearing on the Obinna Live show for an interview, where he was informed about Kimani Mbugua’s condition.
In that interview, comedian Obinna mentioned that they plan to take the former journalist to rehab for about a year.
“I can pay the bill at Mathare then we can transfer him to where Conjestina is at Mombasa Women’s Hospital. There are even male patients there, it’s a rehab. There, we have professional doctors, very good doctors. I will pay the bill at Mathare and will also pay for him there,” Sonko said.
Additionally, the politician volunteered to take Kimani’s parents on a vacation to Mombasa for a few days where they can rest after what they have been through.
He also offered to help pay the rent arrears of veteran journalist Eunice Omolo, who is currently undergoing treatment.
