Former aspirant Mathare MP Kevin Bahati has disclosed Diana Marua's whereabouts.
Marua has been MIA since she posted a mysterious message on her social media accounts about being in the dark.
The caption was displayed after a picture of a dove on a dark background.
"Only in the Darkness, Can you see the Stars."
According to Bahati, his wife Diana is not doing well, according to an interview with Nairobi News.
But he said that he was not free to say what Diana was struggling with just now.
Diana has previously disclosed that she was suffering from Symphysis pubis dysfunction.
She has pain in her pelvic region, which makes it difficult for her to move around, especially while she is pregnant.
Even when I am at 7 or 8 months, I can't walk. Baha has to turn me. That is what I was looking back at that was depressing me and cause I wasn't prepared, I wasn't ready to get back to that journey. But I am good now."
Adding,
"The pain is still there. I struggle walking but I can't complain much. I have a condition called Symphysis pubis dysfunction, where a lot of pressure is exerted on my pelvis."

Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) is a collection of symptoms that causes pain in the pelvic area, according to Health Line.
The pelvic joints stiffen up or move unevenly during pregnancy, which is when it typically happens.
Both the front and back of your pelvis may experience it. A different name for SPD is pelvic girdle pain.
Different people experience different symptoms for SPD.
These symptoms are determined by severity and presentation of the condition.
The most commonly experienced symptoms are:
- pain in the front center of your pubic bone
- pain in your lower back on one or both sides
- pain in your perineum, the area between the anus and vagina
The pain sometimes travels to your thighs, and you might also hear or feel a grinding or clicking sound in your pelvis.
The pain is often more obvious when you’re:
- walking
- using stairs
- putting your weight on one leg
- turning over in your bed
It might also be challenging to widen your legs. This can make daily tasks such as getting out of bed, getting dressed, or getting in and out of a car difficult.
Below are things that can make the pain worse if you are already experiencing SPD.
- putting your weight on only one leg
- twisting and bending while lifting
- carrying a child on your hip
- crossing your legs
- sitting on the floor
- sitting in a twisted position
- standing or sitting for long periods of time
- lifting heavy loads, such as wet laundry, shopping bags, or a toddler
- vacuuming
- pushing heavy objects, such as a shopping cart
- carrying anything in only one hand
How can it be treated?
- Physiotherapy
- hydrotherapy
- Supportive equipment such as crutches or pelvic support belts.
The good things is that the pain reduces once the baby is born and the condition has no effect on the baby.
It however makes it hard for one to have a vaginal birth.
