Five NASA protestors shot during the anti-IEBC demonstrations have been detained at St.Jospeh Omboo Hospital due to unpaid hospital bills.
St. Joseph Omboo hospital nurse in charge Gladys Nyaboke said the five still hospitalized include the 8 year old boy shot during the anti-IEBC demonstrations are still recuperating at the facility.
She added that the hospital charges for the five are still accruing each and every day and it’s likely to increase more if they are not discharged in due course.
The five wounded protestors have appealed to the government and other well-wishers to help them foot the hospital bill before it accrues further.
Mr.Benard Otieno who was shot on the hand during the anti-IEBC demonstration said he was discharged last week Friday unfortunately he has not been released because of the unpaid bills.
The victims are among over 15 people shot by the police during the anti-IEBC demonstration last week Friday within Migori town.
The last week confrontation between the police and the anti-IEBC demonstrators in Migori also left one person who was shot on the head dead.
