At least 52 people were on Friday hospitalised at Longisa Referral Hospital in Bomet after eating contaminated food in Tabook village, Bomet Central, the previous day. The 14 children, 29 women and nine men were part of a group of mourners who had attended a funeral. County Health executive Joseph Sitonik said the affected started complaining of abdominal pain and vomitting at around 12am. "We received the reports and mobilised our officers who assessed the situation before calling ambulances to ferry the patients to hospital," Sitonik said. The meat is suspected to have been contaminated while cooking or the animal might have been slaughtered in an unhygienic environment.
