Mrs Kibaki was flown out of the country last week for specialised treatment in London.

She had last month been admitted at Nairobi Hospital intensive care unit after seeking treatment from Gertrude’s Hospital, which is closer to her home.

To date, we have not been able to establish what was ailing the former First Lady.

Mrs Kibaki had not been seen in public for nearly five years.
