  • Kuria was admitted at a Nairobi hospital for 40 days after getting third degree burns from a warming mart.

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has revealed that he will soon be travelling outside the country for post-healing tests on his injured feet.

Speaking on Sunday night during an interview with Citizen TV, Kuria noted that his doctors advised him to seek specialized tests outside the country.

He, however, noted that he will on be going for tests and not any form of treatment.

“I have been asked to go for some specialized post-healing tests which I’m going to go outside the country, but nothing serious,” he said.

On his current status, the Gatundu South legislator noted that he was feeling much better compared to when he first spoke of the injury.

Explaining his hospitalization journey, Kuria noted that he was admitted on September 23 and spent a total of 40 days at the Karen hospital.

A month ago, Kuria opened up on how he got the injuries, narrating that he was warming his feet using a warm mart, but unfortunately, it did not work as expected.

According to Kuria, following the recommendation of a friend, he purchased a warm mat from Ceragem in Nairobi to cure numbness in my feet, but the mat ended up burning his legs severely.

“…Because of travelling getting numb and tired, this guy managed to convince me to use a gadget which to the best of my opinion was authorized…This gadget happened to do a slow-burning of my feet, I was trying to cure a problem by introducing a killer solution…

“I went home at night and my feet just exploded. I came here the following day, they said I had third-degree burns," he said

He further noted that he was planning to acquire a similar device for his mum, but after his ordeal, he shelved the plans.

Responding to Kuria’s ordeal, Ceragem regretted the incident and apologized adding that all their products are approved by KEBS and fit for local consumption.

“We are sorry for the incident, it is not our intention that our products cause harm… We did not know if he had any existing medical conditions,” a statement from Ceragem read in part.
