For four months Lesili Kurukai has been confined on a hospital bed, enduring endless pain after he fell and broke his hip bone.

The 56-year-old had to abandon his tailoring job. After the December 28 accident in Doldol, Laikipia North, Kurukai was booked at a nearby health centre where he got several jabs and pain killers and went back home.
