As earlier reported by The Kenya Times, Kimani had been admitted to the hospital and was discharged but his parents refused to pick him up.
The journalist insisted that his parents had decided to neglect him at the hospital just to punish him.
“I appeal to all 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 August 4 and was discharged on the 10th of the same month. My parents have left me here to punish me,” Kimani wrote.
His claims, however, were refuted by his mother who confirmed doctors had advised his extended stay at the hospital.
