A family from Loitokitok is calling on the Health ministry to intervene and have the body of their kin detained at a city hospital over Sh2 million bill, released. Andrew Micheka, 67, a casual worker at Olkejuado district hospital was taken ill on June 30 and taken to Loitokitok subcounty hospital where he tested positive for Covid-19. However the hospital's authorities referred him to Kajiado county referral hospital as they did not have an isolation facility. Micheka’s daughter Lucy Andrew told the Star that she took her father to Kajiado county referral hospital but were turned away as doctors said the facility was full. We need to bury our father and later pay the amount,” Andrew said.
