Sabina Chege Clears KSh 270k Hospital Bill for Murang'a Man Whose Body Was Held for 1 Month

• Sam was ailing from cancer, and he was taken to different places for treatment with the help of netizens, but he sadly died
• At the time of his death, he had left a KSh 700,000 bill at the Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, and his family tried their best, but in the end, they could not raise KSh 270,000
• That caused the hospital to retain his body for a month, and once politician Sabina Chege learnt of the issue, she offered to clear the bill
• Other well-wishers said they would provide other things to cushion the family, as they have spent a lot

Murang'a - The family of Sam, a man who bravely fought two types of cancer at the same time, can now start planning to give him a befitting sendoff as the KSh 270,000 bill they owed has been cleared.

How much did Sam's family owe?

Sam died on May 20, despite fighting hard, and people from all walks of life came together to help him fight the serious condition.

After his death, the family was slapped with a KSh 700,000 bill; Social Health Assurance (SHA) paid some of it, and his loved ones also paid a significant amount. At the end of it all, they remained with KSh 270,000, and the Kenyatta University Referral Hospital held onto his body until the full amount was paid.

The family has been going up and down to raise the money, but they hit a brick wall, meaning that the body has been in the mortuary for a month. They turned to social media one more time, and this time, former Murang'a woman rep Sabina Chege heard their cry.

"Thank you Lord 😭, my blessed sister Hon Sabina Wanjiru wa Chege has called me and promised to clear the remaining bill of KSh 270,000 in the morning," said philanthropist Karangu Muraya.

"Thank you Lord, for making a way for my late friend Sam," he added.

Which other help did Sam's family get?

In a Facebook post, Karangu shared that he was on his way to pay the bill with Sabina Chege. That is not the only good news, as more people have come out to help with the funeral arrangements to give Sam a befitting sendoff.

Among them are Carol, who will offer ushering services for free, and Brandon Wa Karanja has offered the late Sam's send-off with free tents and chairs.

"Thank you Lord for making it possible for Sam. My brother, DJ Macdee Top Mc, has offered Sam free DJ services and free sound," said Karangu.

"No one has ever become poor by giving,Karangu Muraya God bless you for supporting this family. RIP Sam," said Mc Dee.

Emmaus Funeral Directors will provide a nice coffin while Karangu will personally pay for the hearse.

Man seeks help to get wife's body

Previously, Anthony Maina sought help to pay hospital bills so that he could get his wife's body for burial.

Maina's wife, Jane Wacera, died over a month ago, but her body was retained at the Kenyatta University (KU) morgue following her demise, attributed to septic shock.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Maina said he had exhausted all his financial resources.
