Tourism minister Najib Balala was on Saturday discharged from Aga Khan Hospital.

The minister was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday complaining of fever and fatigue.

Speaking to media, the Minister said, "I am feeling well and fine now. The colds affected me owing to fasting and overworking during the promulgation ceremony. I had little time to rest following the nasal surgery. The Doctor has advised that I rest at least for a week."

Last month Balala was rushed to the Nairobi Hospital after collapsing in his office due to breathing complications.

He underwent an operation to correct an anomaly in his nose known as the deviation of the nasal septum.

His doctor, Prof Muthure Macharia, said the condition is frequently caused by impact trauma, such as a blow to the face.
