Doctors treating the Speaker of Chamber of Deputies, Alfred Mukezamfura, said yesterday that his condition had improved but may not be discharged soon.

Mukezamfura rushed to King Faisal Hospital on Wednesday after collapsing in his office at Parliamentary Buildings in Kimihurura.

He was admitted while in critical condition but doctors say he is getting better. He is suffering from high blood pressure.

The Chamber of Deputies’ Secretary General, Anicet Habarurema, who was the first to visit the Speaker at the hospital said:

"This morning (Thursday) I received a message from the hospital the he was in good condition and that he could now talk to people.”

Deputy Gideon Kainamura, who also visited Mukezamfura said that he is in a good condition, he said: "He is improving but doctors are yet to decide when to discharge him.”

Medics say that high blood pressure is dangerous disease and if not controlled can lead to a stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure.
