Mukhtar, who had been admitted at the Nairobi Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was air-lifted to India on Wednesday.
According to the family lawyer, Mukhtar's condition has improved but they preferred to have him taken to India for more treatment.
"The decsion to have him (Mukhtar) air-lifted was made by the family in consultation with specialised doctors," the lawyer said.
Mukhtar survived an assassination on August 19, in Nairobi's Kileleshwa area.

Korane has denied any involvement in the former CEC's attempted murder.
Detectives say that they are still persuing more suspects in connection to Mukhtar's attempted assassination.
