May God heal you my friend," Uhuru tweeted.However, Willice took issue with the tweet and replied saying: "The right word is convalescing' (from the verb CONVALESCE - to recuperate). It could be a typo or a mistaken spelling/word. To err is human."Some keen Twitter users also took swipe at the 'Word Master' saying both spellings were correct.A battle of the whether the word was correctly used or not followed after a Twitter user told Ochieng both forms were correct, as he disputed.The government awarded the 85-year-old veteran politician over Sh1billion as compensation for detention and inhumane treatment by security agents, following a ruling by Supreme Court judge Isaac Lenaola who handled the case while at the High Court.Matiba suffered stroke on May 26, 1991.
