Museveni lashes at Kenyans for claiming that he is in ICU

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has called out Kenyans accusing them of spreading untrue and misleading information about his health.

Expressing his frustration, Museveni addressed reports that claimed he had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and was in need of oxygen support. He firmly denied these allegations, emphasizing that he was not critically ill and was in fact recovering well from his bout with Covid-19.

“I noticed some few individuals from, I think, Kenya, saying that I was in ICU. If I were in ICU, the government would inform the country. What is there to hide?” said the Ugandan strongman.

Museveni clarified that throughout his battle with the virus, he never needed intensive care. He stated that he did not spend any time in bed as a sick individual, including being admitted to a hospital bed, whether in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or any other department.

Regarding his recovery, the President mentioned that aside from experiencing a mild flu-like fever on Tuesday and Wednesday, he only felt a slight drowsiness on Thursday and a mild headache at night.

Museveni stated that by Friday, June 9, all his symptoms had subsided, and he was able to resume his work, focusing on paperwork and official duties.

This update from Museveni came one day after Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Health, Susan Nakhumicha, dismissed reports suggesting a COVID-19 outbreak in Kenya. Nakhumicha emphasized that surveillance reports indicated the country was safe, contrary to the misleading information being circulated.

“Based on our surveillance, we have not detected a significant increase in Covid cases that would require us to alert the country and recommend corrective measures,” she clarified.

The CS explained that the increased cases of flu-like symptoms were associated with the cold season and not the Coronavirus. She advised Kenyans to get flu vaccines, sanitize and wear masks.
