Former Citizen TV journalist Kimani Mbugua has pleaded with Kenyans to help him communicate to his parents and help him get out of the Mathari Mental Hospital where he is currently at.
Kimani, through a very emotional Facebook post seen by The Kenya Times disclosed that his parents admitted him at the Mathari Mental Hospital in August 2022, after they suspected he was having some psychotic episodes.
According to Kimani, he was discharged a couple of days later, but his father and mother totally refused to pick him up from the hospital.
Kimani Mbugua, through his post insisted that his parents decided to abandon him at the Mathari Hospital to punish him.
”I appeal to all the people who know me to kindly appeal to my parents to let me out of Mathari Hospital. I came here after a brief psychotic episode on 4th of August and was discharged on the 10th of the same month. My parents have left me here to punish me,” Kimani pleaded.
Kimani’s post touched the hearts of many Kenyans who pitied him.
