Kimani Mbugua, a former Citizen TV anchor who requested Kenyans to call his parents to bring him up from the Mathare hospital, has finally returned home.
Kimani thanked Kenyans for their prayers and concern on his Instagram page as he reported that his mother had picked him up from the mental health hospital.
He claimed that as he works to put things together, he is now staying with his mother in Murang'a.
"Thank you all for your prayers and concern, my mom came to get me out of Mathare. I am now living with her at her house in Murang'a as I try to get my life together," he wrote.

Through his Twitter account, Kimani said that his parents had left him there to punish him after a psychotic episode.
"I appeal to all people who know me to kindly appeal to my parents to let me out of Mathare Hospital. I came here after a brief psychotic episode on the 4th of August and was discharged on the 10th of the same month. My parents have left me here to punish me," Kimani tweeted.
His mum who exclusively spoke to Mpasho.co.ke said she would pick up her son on condition he agrees to go home.
"The last time I went to pick him up, he was rude to me. He told me since I am late to pick him up, there is a lady who is coming for him from the hospital and that I should go back home. If he agrees to come home, then we are going for him today," he added.
Wanjiku went on to say that her son was suffering due to excessive use of Marijuana.
"I raised him in church but when he got to the age of knowing what to do, he decided to go astray and started abusing drugs. He has never even used caffeine since we raised him in SDA," she painfully narrated.
