Lawyer Danstan Omari raises alarm over Rashid Echesa’s deteriorating health while in police custody
Lawyer Danstan Omari has expressed concern about Kenya Water Towers Agency chairman Rashid Echesa’s worsening health while in police arrest.
During an announcement on Friday, March 29, Omari cautioned that Echesa was getting worse by the day.
Omari, accompanied by lawyer Cliff Ombeta and Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, revealed that Echesa had recently undergone a major medical treatment.
The lawyer added that they attempted to obtain formal documentation from numerous hospitals in order to gain his release, but they were unsuccessful.
“We looked for the documents, we contacted the first hospital where he was treated, Karen Hospital and found out the documents that he was operated on. A very serious operation that he underwent, and he showed us the type of stitches and wounds that he was carrying while in police custody.
“Then after that, we contacted his other doctor Professor Chungu who wrote a summary of the medical condition. The condition is fatal; the condition is acute pneumonia. So we wrote a letter in the morning that at no cost waziri should be released so that the family take him to the hospital or the police to the hospital,” he disclosed.
Omari further stated that, despite all of the paperwork confirming his health, the police summoned him to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters for questioning.
However, the interview was cancelled because Echesa’s condition deteriorated rapidly.
“Our client’s medical condition was completely deteriorating, he was breathing heavily, he started sweating, and his interview could not proceed. Here is a man who is likely to die. He has been taken back to Muthaiga Police Station as the officers here, consult their bosses,” he added.
The outspoken lawyer warned that if Echesa died while in police custody, the policemen who seized him would be held responsible.
