One such family is that of Mwajuma Juma, whose son’s body is still being detained at Nakuru’s Mediheal Hospital. Ms Mwajuma told the Nation that her 25-year-old son Shaban Juma died on Friday while receiving dialysis treatment, leaving behind a Sh352,000 hospital bill. “When my son died I asked the hospital to release his body to me for burial since I’m a Muslim and as our custom, he should be buried the same day. But when I went on Monday morning to claim his body, the hospital management refused to release the body,” said Ms Juma, a vegetable vendor. Paul Maina Kariuki said his mother died at Nakuru Mediheal Hospital a month ago while undergoing treatment and left a bill of Sh800,000.
