James Njoroge is a 26-year-old single man. He lives in Maragua District with both his parents in a one roomed mud house. He is the third born in a family of five, and is provided for by his mother who is a peasant farmer and earns her living by tilling other people's land.
In 2005 Njoroge was admitted in hospital for pneumonia where he started developing Para paresis of both lower limbs, allegedly because of being injected repeatedly on the same spot. After a while Njoroge was not able to walk, and therefore started undergoing physiotherapy at Maragua District Hospital. Due to lack of finances to purchase a wheelchair, he had to crawl to the hospital or be supported on a bicycle by well wishers. [more.....] |
