Sonko finds babies bodies in nylon bag, fires Pumwani hospital management

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has this afternoon suspended the top management of Pumwani hospital in Nairobi after discovering 12 infant corpses hidden in a polythene bag.

Suspended are: Hospital superintendent Dr. Catherine Mutinda, Dr. James Kamau the obstetrician gynecologist who was supposed to be on duty, hospital administator Zadock Angahya and the entire hospital board.

Sonko who had paid an impromptu visit to the facility on a bodaboda found the bodies hidden in boxes at a corner. 

In jeans, military jacket and hat tightly pulled over the eyes in an apparent disguise, Sonko spread fear in the facility that is more often than not in the news for the wrong reasons.

Sonko is heard asking “Shida iko pande gani? (What’s the problem here).”

Someone then ushers him to walk straight along the corridor where he arrives at a station wrongly mispelt as Sister’s instead of Sisters.

It is alleged that the hospital's management shut down the machines at the Maternity Wing. A fiery Sonko is also heard saying "Twende kwa hizo mashini hazifanyi kazi. (Show me the machines)."

Some members of staff and patients are seen peeping from partially opened doors behind him.
