“At his age and stature, they can check anything (during routine medical trips), including the hair follicle, the prostrate and eyesight,” Mr Gituku said.
The former President was first admitted to The Nairobi Hospital on January 20, 2004.
His medical team at the time said they found a blood clot in his right leg.
