Ex Makadara MP Reuben Ndolo failed to appear in court on Monday to face charges of creating disturbance and threatening to kill.
Ndolo was supposed to appear before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku but was a no-show because he apparently fell ill while in custody.
According to his lawyer, the former lawmaker had health complications which prompted him to seek medical attention at Nairobi West Hospital.
He was diagnosed with high blood pressure, the court heard.

It is then that police released him on a Sh50,000 cash bail.
Ms Mutuku then ordered that Ndolo appears in court on Wednesday to take a plea.
He and six others have been charged with creating disturbance at Bustani Gardens along Oledume Road on August 16 at 18:45pm.
The court also heard that Ndolo and Daniel Otieno, who are the 1st and 2nd accused persons respectively, uttered words threatening to kill Rashid Hamid, director of Richland Properties Limited.
