Former Citizen TV journalist Kimani Mbugua begs Kenyans for help
Kimani Mbugua, a former Citizen TV anchor, has pleaded with Kenyans to contact his parents and ask them to allow him to leave Mathare Hospital.
He posted about it on Twitter, stating that his parents had sent him there as punishment for a psychotic episode.
” I appeal to all people who know me to kindly appeal to my parents to let me out of Mathare Hospital. I came here after a brief psychotic episode on the 4th of August and was discharged on the 10th of the same month. My parents have left me here to punish me,” Kimani tweeted.

The journalist described how it felt to use hard drugs in the Kimani Mbugua podcast.
“Your brain goes out of reality when you are doing drugs. After I smoked weed, I started seeing things out of reality, I developed schizophrenia.
The first diagnosis I received was an acute psychotic episode, to show that something huge had happened to me.”
Kimani continued to narrate his psychotic episode where he always saw a woman.
“I was eager to stop this woman in my ‘dreams’. I would sometimes smoke weed after the show and just chill in the parking lot.
The day it exploded; I was going home with my fiancé when I felt the sensation come in. I had taken a lot of cigarettes, red bull, and some weed.”
“I saw a woman who was like a goddess who came to have sex with me. She started calling my name.”
Kimani was admitted to Mathare hospital after becoming psychotic due to her ongoing drug use.
