DAILY POST: Here is the name of doctor who said KENYATTA had exactly two years to live – He cried when Mzee honored him with a State House dinner Politics 07:59 Thursday January 24, 2019-In 1976, Kenya government invited South African cardiologist, Dr Christian Bernard, to access the health status of the Kenya founding father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, who was ailing for some time.
Bernard, who was invited by then Attorney General, Charles Mugane Njonjo, was to assess the health of President Jomo Kenyatta and quietly give an educated guess on how much longer the elderly leader had to go. Upon accessing Kenyatta’s health, Dr Bernard was summoned by Njonjo and former late spymaster, James Kanyotu who were waiting him at Harambee House. Dr Bernard told the two that Mzee had two years, tops, to live. After his tests, Kenyatta held a dinner in honour and it was during this time that Dr Bernard wept when he knew his host has only two years to live. Nobody in Kenyatta’s family was told about Dr Bernard’s prognosis on Kenyatta. Almost exactly two years later, Mzee Kenyatta died and vice President Daniel arap Moi took over and rule Kenya for 24 years.
