In a video making rounds on social media, Mbugua noted that he was discharged from hospital but he can’t leave until the person responsible allows it.
According to him, his family also has no right to approve his freedom.
“I just wanted to ask whoever is responsible for my freedom here to just let me go. My mum came more than two months ago and she told me it’s not up to her, it is not up to my dad. I am just being held here. I was discharged on 25th of September and I have been in mental for the whole year,” the former Citizen TV journalist said.
Mbugua is seeking for his freedom so that he can resume his normal life.
“I just want to go back to building my business so please whoever is responsible for my freedom just give it back to me. I did nothing wrong by being sick. I handle my illness the way I know how best to, sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed,” he said.
In May this year, Comedian Oga Obinna organized for Mbugua to be admitted again at Mathari Hospital after he encountered an episode that send shockwaves among Kenyans.
He recorded himself screaming and using blasphemous and obscene language.
“I reached out to him a while ago. He didn’t show up, alikula fare but that is water under the bridge. Commenting I wonder, I wonder, is not helping him. I need someone who knows where he is. Let’s find him, find a hospital and drive him there. He will thank us later. When a brother is naked, we cover his nakedness,” Obinna said then.
Shortly after Mbugua’s admission at Mathari, Mike Sonko intervened, a move that saw him get transferred to the Coastal Rehab centre.
