A 15-year-old orphan has been detained at Consolata Mission Hospital in Mathari, Nyeri County, since mid last month after he failed to raise a hospital bill amounting to more than Sh2 million.

Stephen Maina suffered injuries on his limbs and head when he fell from a tree and was taken to the facility after his condition worsened on July 16.
