Dar es Salaam. The opposition party Chadema has
on Thursday 14th clarified that Singida East MP, Tundu Lissu, is
admitted at Nairobi Hospital and not at Aga Khan University Hospital as
it was previously being reported.
Chadema spokesperson,
Mr Tumaini Makene told The Citizen that initially it had been planned
that Lissu be taken to Aga Khan University Hospital but this changed
along the way.
“I have read in the media that Mr Lissus
is admitted at Aga Khan Hospital. This is not true. He is actually at
Nairobi Hospital,’’ he said.
Lissu was airlifted only
hours after he was hit with five out of 32 bullets sprayed on his
vehicle by the unknown assailants in Dodoma on Thursday last week.
Plans
are afoot to fly him to the US for further treatment. Mr Lissu,
Chadema's chief whip survived injuries on his stomach and limbs and was
flown to Nairobi on the advice of his family and party.
