Friends who are trying to help Mr. Onyango Sumba have reported that it will take at least 60.000 Kenyan shillings (about 6.000 kr) to move him out of Kenyatta hospital (where conditions are very poor) to Nairobi Hospital where treatment is much better.
A contact who is in touch has told KSB that Mr. Sumba cannot be moved unless the cash is paid. The team trying to help him have no resources and they have appealed for funds from friends, well-wishers and sympathizers in Sweden to help save Mr. Sumba’s life. The ODM’s political establishment, which was expected to help, have not been able to do anything.
Further, the contact said that if Mr. Sumba is to be moved to Nairobi hospital, charges per day stands at 30.000 Ksh (about 3.000 kr). The contact said that Mr. Sumba is conscious although he cannot talk. He said that his situation may continue to deteriorate if he is left at Kenyatta hospital.
