Kimani Mbugua’s father has recently stated that his son isn’t forcefully locked up in the rehab centre where he’s receiving treatment despite what he’d claimed in a viral video.
According to the dad, Kimani hasn’t fully recovered despite his claims online, and that’s why they haven’t signed off on his release.
Talking about his son’s pleas, Kimani’s dad stated there was still a great deal of work to be done even if Kimani had improved.
“I’m the dad, and I love him… sijamfunga noting that the former news reporter couldn’t be released on his own and even though his condition had improved there was still a great deal of work to be done. Kule tutamtoa vile tulienda na yeye, hawezi toka pekee yake. So, Kimani my son, and my great friend cool down, cool down. I’m your director. As the dad, I know him…I know when he’s on this hill, if we don’t take care he may think positively but then do something negative.’’
Recently the former Citizen TV journalist had pleaded for his release from a medical facility where he has been undergoing treatment. Mbugua urged an unnamed authority to allow him to leave, stating he feels fully recovered.
“Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask whoever is responsible for my release to please let me go. My mom and dad came here two months ago and told me it’s not up to them,” he said, explaining that he was cleared for discharge over a month ago. I was discharged on September 25, but I’m still being held here. I just want to go back to building my business. Please, whoever is responsible for my freedom, just give it to me. I did nothing wrong. I manage my illness as best as I can; sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed.’’
