[Beverlyne Musili/Standard]Inmates and remandees are being turned away by Kenyatta National Hospital due to a Sh31 million unpaid bill by the Prisons Department. It is not clear whether KNH was a casualty of the freeze as the Sh31 million debt owed by prisons authorities had accrued over the past one year. “They have got a debt of Sh31 million, so we are treating their patients who are emergency cases only. “Prisons owes KNH a lot of unpaid bills. KNH said they don’t deal with individuals if they have been brought in by the prisons authorities … it’s a procedural standoff,” said Nyaberi.
