Tourism minister Najib Balala was on Wednesday night admitted at Aga Khan hospital after complaining of a fever.

The Minister underwent a nasal surgery two weeks ago.

A nephew to the minister confirmed that Mr Balala was diagnosed with fever and told by doctors to stay in hospital for at least two days.

The minister was scheduled to open an East African e-tourism conference in Nairobi on Thursday morning.

On August 16, Mr Balala was rushed to the Nairobi hospital after collapsing in his office due to breathing complications.

The minister was operated for turbinate hypertrophy, a condition caused by the enlargement of the turbinates -- the small structures within the nose that cleanse and humidify air as it passes through nostrils into the lungs.

    IT is wrong for people to look for a causal relationship between Balala's current health and his receiving of Mr Bashir at the Airport,although Bashir is thought to have a lot of Darfur blood in his hands. Although both gentlemen are of Arabic descent and slave trade occurred long ago,we can not impute improper attitudes or motives on them,can we?

    I wish you quick recovery Balala. What I don't understand is why we as Kenyans continue to call our MPs, Waheshimiwa...what is honorable about anyone of them? Their hefty perks? Unreasonbly high salaries or their opulent lifestyles? Or could it be their sectarian/divisive politics?
