Vital Kamerhe was rushed to a local hospital in Kinshasa, late on Sunday, after his health situation deteriorated on the day. It's unclear what the former Chief of Staff was suffering from, but according to relatives his condition was critical. Rumours of him having catched the coronavirus remains unfounded as no reliable source has confirmed such revelation.
His lawyers have in multiple occasions submitted applications to have him released on health grounds, however this has been rejected by the court. Next month the Appeal Court of Gombe in Kinshasa is expected to hear an application challenging Kamerhe's 20 years prison sentence and demanding his immediate release.
