[PHOTOS] Emotional MPs in tears as mother of baby who died at KNH narrates ordeal

The Senate Standing Committee on Monday met Judy Muthoni, mother to the Late Travis Maina, who lost his life at KNH due to injuries caused by a fork jembe lodged in his head on October 11, 2022.

Judy appeared before the committee to give an account of what transpired from the time the baby was involved in the accident to when he was pronounced dead by Kenyatta National Hospital medics.

The lawmakers are seeking to unearth if there was negligence on the part of the national referral hospital, leading to the death of the baby.

The Senate health committee will on Tuesday next week meet the management of the Kiambu County government and the Kiambu level 5 hospital as the inquest into the death of baby Travis Maina continues.

The committee chair Jackson Mandago said the Senate is too late to apportion blame, but maintained that justice for the baby will be served.

"There are so many unreported cases which do not come to the limelight but we will follow up on this matter and do a thorough investigation to ensure justice is served," Mandago said.

She has, however, maintained that there was negligence on the part of the KNH in attending to her child despite the hospital saying the child was well attended to.
