NAIROBI, Kenya
Anxiety and speculation are intensifying over the condition of Raphael Tuju after reports that he was rushed to Karen Hospital following a sudden health scare while in police custody.
Emerging details suggest Tuju’s condition may have deteriorated at Karen Police Station, where he had been detained after his recent arrest tied to allegations of providing false information to authorities.
Those close to him claim the situation escalated quickly, prompting urgent medical attention.
Members of his legal team have raised alarm, saying his health was “worsening,” sparking concerns over his immediate well-being and whether he is in a stable condition.
There are also claims that underlying health complications may have contributed to the sudden decline.
Authorities have yet to release an official update on his medical status, leaving a vacuum now filled with growing public concern and political undertones.
While police insist procedures were followed, allies of the former Cabinet Secretary are questioning the circumstances surrounding his arrest and detention.
The incident adds another dramatic twist to an already unfolding saga that has captured national attention — from his reported disappearance to a controversial arrest that has divided opinion.
As of Tuesday evening, Tuju remained under medical care, but without a formal statement from doctors, uncertainty continues to swirl.
For now, the question lingers: is this a temporary scare — or a sign of a more serious condition?
