Starehe MP, Charles Njagua popularly known as jaguar has spoken for the first time after being discharged from hospital.
In a statement he shared on Twitter, the MP said he is recovering well and will be taking a break for the next three weeks.
He went on to state that this was not his wish, but that notwithstanding, work in Starehe will continue as usual through his team.
"I am getting on well & hoping for a full recovery. As per the doctor's advice, I will be taking a break for the next three weeks. This is not my wish, but I assure the great people of Starehe that they will continue receiving services through my office from my able team," said Jaguar.
This comes about a week after he underwent surgery at the MP Shah Hospital in Nairobi after developing complications with a knee that had been operated on before.

News of Jaguar’s operation was first broken by musician DK Kwenye Beat who revealed that Jaguar had dealt with recurring knee pains for a while and at one point sought medical treatment in India.
The artist posted a video of Jaguar being wheeled out of a lift by two uniformed hospital attendees.
"You are a fighter and nothing can keep you down," DK Kwenye Beat captioned the video.
Adding, "Fight the time and have a complete and swift recovery."
Jaguar first broke his leg in July 2018 after attempting to intervene in a protest at Marikiti Market. Traders at the market were protesting harassment by Nairobi City County officials.
Police lobbed teargas to disperse the protesters and Jaguar suffered a fracture on his right knee while running away.
He was rushed to Karen Hospital where the knee was plastered up but has seemingly never quite healed.
