Opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been discharged from the Nairobi Hospital where he has been since his brutal arrest. In his words he said that; "I was looked after very very well by the Nairobi Hospital and I think I have recovered much faster than I expected."

He added that he will be coming home shortly after a few days out of hospital and will be back to Kampala this coming week. "The doctors feel that there are some examinations they are not able to conclusively determine here and they advised that it would be better to use other centres and those arrangements will be made in the near future."

He  was addressing Kenyan journalists in the company of his wife Winnie Byanyima. Meanwhile his Opposition counterparts are planning a joint rally at the constitutional square which the police is insisting it will not entertain for the safety of the members of the public.
