President William Ruto has finally come to the aid of ailing Mugithi artist and former TV host, Peter Miracle Baby. Following his release from the hospital a few weeks ago, the artist has been receiving full-time medical care at his residence.
Miracle Baby and his wife, Carol Katrue announced the heartwarming news on their social media pages. President’s goodwill towards the couple revived their lost hope as they were experiencing financial crisis due to daily medical expenses.
The Mugiithi singer’s medical bills were covered by President Ruto through the intervention of musician-turned-politician Charles Kanyi, also known as Jaguar. In addition, he directed that the artist be transported to Kenyatta National Hospital in order to receive additional medical care.
Miracle Baby was taken to KNH for medical care after being picked up by an ambulance from his house. His healing surgical wounds were taken care of by the medical professionals. The President also gave the musician’s wife a staggering Sh. 300,000 for living expenses, taking into account that Miracle Baby is the main provider and has not been working for a few months.
Artist KRG The Don and philanthropist Karangu Muraya were among the other notables who accompanied the politician. Celebrities wished the musician a speedy recovery while offering encouragement.
Miracle Baby was recently discharged from a hospital in Kiambu, where the cumulative medical bill exceeded Sh1 million. To allow for the artist’s discharge, Eric Omondi had to intervene and take the lead in the fundraising. Nevertheless, even after being discharged from the hospital, his wounds require daily care, which has resulted in an increasing medical bill.
Over Sh. 20,000 is the daily medical bill that Katrue claims her husband incurs. She went on to describe his recuperation process as complicated because he needed to use a tube for excretion for the next six weeks. Every day, the artist uses more than five tubes.
