One trending Boniface Murage charged with sneaking his daughter out of Kenyatta National Hospital in evasion of ksh 56,000 has eventually tested freedom from most of his burdens.
Noble citizens and dignitaries came out to help him obtain his freedom and have also cleared his debt after public sympathy dawned on him.
Murage has been set free after court handed him three-month suspended sentence Among his saviours Hon Mike Sonko has pomised to give the fellow a job.
Speaking outside the court after the ruling, Murage said he and wife took their baby to KNH after she developed a fever.
“The mother and the baby were in the hospital for three weeks. When the time came for my baby to be discharged the bill had reached Sh56,000,” he said.
Murage, 22, said as he was taking breakfast to his wife, he decided that he will take the baby out of the hospital without the knowledge of the wife.
“I took tea to her but then I had prepared the bag [a blue one with toy pictures] for putting the baby. So I took the baby and put her carefully in the bag,” he said.
He said that when he reached the security checkpoint, he was asked about what was in the bag. Murage said he was not afraid.
He has admitted being happy with the ruling.
