President Ruto delivering a speech during the Inspection of Mutuini Hospital in Dagoretti South on March 3, 2026./PCSPresident William Ruto on Tuesday gave Sh1.5 million to help a Dagoretti South family clear an outstanding hospital bill for their son who died abroad. His body has remained unrepatriated due to an unsettled medical bill amounting to Sh1.5 million. “I have been told that he has a bill of Sh1.5 million. This guy is called Gicheru; he is my deputy comptroller, and he will give you the Sh1.5 million to pay for the hospital bill,” President Ruto said to the deceased mother. President Ruto noted that once fully operational, the hospital would help reduce congestion in facilities such as Mbagathi Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital, which currently handle high patient volumes from across the city and beyond.
