A middle-aged woman and her daughter, aged 4 years, are detained at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital over a bill of Ksh. 124,000.

Marren Anyago, who has been nursing her daughter, who has been suffering from kidney failure at the facility since March 8, 2025, was discharged last week after the daughter recovered, but they are not able to leave the facility because of the unpaid hospital bill.

Anyango, who hails from Uriri sub-county, said the bill has accumulated to Ksh.124,000 and it continues to increase while she is still in the hospital.

She has tried to seek help but has yet to obtain the necessary funds to leave the facility, and therefore appeals for assistance from leaders in Migori County and other well-wishers.

Back home, Anyango says her six children have been locked out of a rental house over unpaid rent.

Anyango told Ramogi FM her children are currently living with a neighbor who has also been overwhelmed with the burden.
