Dennis Itumbi Moved to ICU as His Health Politicised Severely

[ad_1]

Digital strategist at the Office of Deputy President William Ruto, Dennis Itumbi was reportedly admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) yesterday, December 25.

According to UDA communication director Wanjohi Githae, the blogger was moved to ICU after his health deteriorated.
“Dennis Itumbi has been admitted into the ICU, X-rays show signs of pneumonia. Say a prayer for him,” Githae.

Itumbi has been on the headlines since December 25, when he was allegedly abducted by three men, as he left a barbershop in Thindigua along Kiambu Road.

He was found alive in Lucky Summer later that evening, but “badly beaten”, Tangatanga reported.

Eyewitnesses claimed that he was naked and could barely express himself.

The alleged abduction has sparked mixed reactions from politicians and Kenyans on social media. Evidently, the matter has taken a political angle.

The Kieleweke camp claims that Tangatanga stage-managed the kidnapping to get sympathy.

State allied blogger Pauline Njoroge wondered why DP Ruto’s allies were alleging that the police were involved in the kidnapping.

“Never underestimate the extent some people would go to seek sympathy from the masses, including harming their expediency,” she wrote.

However, Tangatanga lawmakers led by Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua and Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika insisted that security officers abducted and tortured Itumbi.

“They beat him using a hammer and left him for dead because he has been criticizing the government. Unfortunately, President Uhuru Kenyatta is emulating his father, founding President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, who used to crush his critics,” Gachagua said.

Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah also alleged that the State sent a “doctor” at Nairobi West Hospital where Itumbi is admitted, alluding that some people want the blogger dead.

“They will not succeed because Christ is born again to give life and not even their murderous bloodthirsty schemes will go unexposed,” he said.
