@Kamundu........I feel you.

But believe me unless someone comes to their aid that will be the end result.

I will also tell you its something that happens every other day.People voluntarily run away when they find their rela has passed on and the bill is not one they can meet.Others who are not dead but are out of danger colludewith the nurses and security and disappear during the lunch hour visit.


Unfortunately poverty strips us human feelings.

@Kamundu, when you visit the maternity wards of Kenyatta or Pumwani, you'll find many women with children who've not even received a visit from the fathers or husbands for months after 'discharge'.

For a couple in the 'slums' getting even ten thousand shillings is a huge problem, and it's so shameful even for the man to step into the hospital for a visit.

Just the other day someone was recounting what his father used to do during meal time. The father would cook a big ugali and two eggs for himself and announce that ugali was for all, but each was to find his own 'mboga'. That's how children end up dragging magnets along ditches and end dying as robbery suspects.

Most girls are wives when childless and young, after that they are on their own. That's poverty for you. It doesn't know 'wife', 'child', 'father', or 'husband'.

Am not sure @Pastor M needs any advice. Or isn't he a pastor in some church/ministry with a congregation? A diocese or something? Or am I expecting too much?

If there's anyone who needs help, then it's the bereaved child and I have no bread for him, only stones.

I think @ Pastor M you are on the right path.Let them hold a memorial service after 21 days to bring closure to the matter.

Whatever money they collect should assist the living left behind and not going to Kenyatta who have the ability but lacking the will to waive the funds.

Let Kenyatta keep and dispose the body.Keep counselling them.

such costs are not covered under Jubilee manifesto's free maternity services which was launched as soon as Jubilee came to power?
