Elsewhere, Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a clashed with officials at the Ruiru Level IV Hospital over the alleged detention of new mothers due to unpaid bills.
According to the MP, the 24 mothers were held at the facility for more than three months. Ng'ang'a wanted to clear the mothers' bills but was denied the opportunity.
The hospital management explained that the Kiambu County Government had already waived the bills for the detained patients and declined to receive any money from her.
They insisted that the release of the patients must be in line with the facility's policy, but promised that the mothers would be released today.
Notably, the management called out the legislator for arriving at the facility with a crowd and police officers, stating that the privacy and dignity of patients was violated.
The mothers began agitating for their immediate release and urged the management to accept the payment from the MP.
