Former First Lady Lucy Kibaki has been transferred form the Nairobi Hospital's ICU 10 days after she was admitted for "emergency care".

Sources at the hospital said this on Tuesday but could not verify the nature of her illness and when she will be discharged.

"The wife of former president Mwai Kibaki was transferred to the North Wing

on Sunday after she improved. She is getting better," a source told The Star on phone.

Lucy fell ill at her home in Muthaiga, Nairobi, on March 11 and was at about 4am before being taken to Nairobi Hospital.

She arrived at the hospital at around 5am in an ambulance escorted by two government vehicles.

Lucy's daughter Judy Kibaki on Monday that her mother’s condition was “stable”.

"She is very well. She continues to receive goodwill messages from Kenyans,” she said.

Kibaki's press team had

saying there was no cause alarm and that it was "merely a routine check-up".

Lucy kept an uncharacteristically low profile and did not attend any public functions during part of her time as First Lady.

She got off the public radar in 2010, speculation about her whereabouts and health arising in 2012.

The former First Lady was rushed to hospital two years later after reportedly complaining of chest pains.
