“I offered them a friend’s title deed as security but one of the employees told me the hospital had enough of them,” she said, adding that her husband was jobless and her monthly net pay was Sh10,000.
When Mrs Olivia Osidiana was told that she had delivered her second baby boy, she was delighted.
Like any mother, Mrs Osidiana, 33 had been looking forward to the final day of her pregnancy. Little did she know that this would be a beginning of her nightmare. Her baby has been detained in hospital since. And the infant is not sick.
