A woman who lost her four children when a lorry crashed into her house in Mabera last week has been detained in hospital for failing to pay bills.

Margaret Magutu failed to raise shs. 29,000 to Akidiva hospital in Mabera forcing the hospital to detain her.

Although the hospital has promised to give her a waiver, the hopsitals director Richard Gibiti wondered how the woman would raise the funds.

“We can give a waiver but how about the medication we bought and gave her? She has also used facilities we have paid for. This community has many poor people, meaning we cannot pay bills for everybody,” he said.

But speaking to the press, 45 year old woman was yet to come to terms with the untimely death of her children at once.

“What will happen to me? How will I ever bury my children,” she said.

The lorry that rammed into their house Thursday night was ferrying sand from Motemorabu to Mabera.
