Uasin Gishu man from Meriwet village, Kiptoo Arap Boiwo, is in agony after being denied the body his grandson for burial due to a hospital bill that had accrued to Sh2.8.
According to Mr. Boiwo, the body of his grandson cannot be released from the morgue because of a bill that had accrued during his treatment at the hospital.
"He is still in the morgue at the Referral hospital and they are saying he will not be released without paying the hospital bill of Sh2.8. We are also yet to know what we will be required to pay as his morgue service bill," said Mr. Boiwo.
The body of the grandson is still lying uncollected at the Moi's Teaching and Referral Hospital morgue as the bill is yet to be settled.
The grandson had succumbed to serious injuries from an accident after spending three months while being treated at the ICU of Mediheal hospital in Eldoret.
Boiwo has now lost 3 grandsons in a span of 3 months. Apart from the one lying in the morgue, he has already buried two other grandsons: Simon Kipsang' and Elvis Rotich who were laid to rest in Meriwet village after an accident involving a motorbike and a car.
He is now appealing to well-wishers to help him so that he can lay his grandson to rest.
