Kyanjo’s Health History
Mr Hussein Kyanjo’s first openly spoke about his health condition in an interview with Daily Monitor in May 2014 after he had been in and out of hospital for about two years.
Mr Kyanjo said he had travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa, for Parliament business in early 2011 when he realised he was struggling to speak two days into the trip.
He said by the time he went to see the doctor, who could not identify the problem, he had some missing teeth and thought it was one of the problems.
Mr Kyanjo, however, said when he went for that (check), it was not part of the problem until he went to an Iranian-owned hospital in Dubai.
“There, they diagnosed me with a disease called dystonia. They said it was a rare stubborn disease; it resists drugs and is very disturbing to one who has it. They gave me some drugs which I started using but also referred me to a London hospital where they said it was going to be better for me,” he said. Mr Kyanjo said doctors told him his condition could have been caused by any of three factors, an inheritance of the disease, effects of a serious accident or poison.
