“He is stable at the moment,” he continued. There is less pain. The blood pressure is normal, and the investigations are still ongoing.

In order to guarantee Gachagua’s safety, Dr. Gikonyo stated that he would need to be closely watched for 48 to 72 hours. He stated that in order to ensure his safety, “we have to keep him in for about 48-72 hours.”
