President Magufuli with Raila at an event in Tanzania in 2019.
NAIROBI. It is now official that Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli has been admitted in Nairobi Hospital while Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga has been told to isolate.
Magufuli who has consistently brushed off Covid 19 claims has not been seen in public for two weeks but his government remains tight lipped although various sources said he is receiving Covid related treatment.
On Tuesday without naming an African leader but laying all descriptions related to Tanzanian’s behavior on Covid, Daily Nation reported that Nairobi hospital was treating a President.
Magufuli always seen addressing public rallies and church congregations without a mask was last seen in public on February 27. He was flown to Kenya yesterday for treatment.
In Tanzania many clerics especially from the catholic religion have succumbed to covid. The World Health Organisation has consistently asked Tanzania to be open on the prevalence of Covid but leaders remain adamant.
Meanwhile Odinga was has been asked by doctors to self-isolate after tests at Nairobi hospital when he felt body ache.
