Former Rarieda MP and Jubilee Party secretary-general Raphael Tuju is responding well to treatment.
The Cabinet Secretary without a portfolio was flown to Karen Hospital, Nairobi after he was involved in a road accident on Wednesday morning. He had been traveling to Kabarak, Nakuru county, to attend President Daniel Moi’s burial.
The accident happened on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway in Kijabe area after his car collided head-on with a matatu. According to a doctor aware of Tuju’s condition, he has recorded remarkable progress.
“Waziri’s condition has tremendously improved. He is still being monitored closely by a team of specialists. There is no cause for alarm,” the doctor said on condition of anonymity.

Deputy President William Ruto is among the top government officials who have visited Tuju in the hospital.
