It was all joy in Kachieng East Kamagak in Kasipul Sub-county after 30-year-old Jacinta Akinyi gave birth to five babies.
According to John Malago, the director of the hospital, the woman did not attend any clinic throughout her pregnancy.
“This woman started delivering at home, by the time she arrived at this hospital, she had two babies that had passed on. She managed to give birth to three other children, they are well though we have transferred them to Kisii for specialized treatment,” he said.
The children weighing 1.6 to 1.9 kilogram were born after seven months against the expected nine.
However, the firstborn boy and last born girl died.
A jubilant Akinyi said together with the husband they never expected to get five babies but praised God for the blessings.
