Two people have died while 7 others have been admitted to the Thika Level V Hospital after consuming Ugali that they had picked from Kang’oki dump site in the Kiganjo area of Thika.

One of those admitted is said to be in critical condition.

Doctor Waruti Kibuti, in charge of the Thika Level V hospital, said eight people had been admitted with breathing problems. She told the media that medics were working to stabilise them.

“We received eight casualties from the Kang’oki dumpsite, one of them is in critical condition,” Dr. Waruti told the media “Three are very sickly but four are stable,”

“Most of them came to the hospital when they were unconscious and had breathing problems,”

Simon Kioko, one of those who ate a serving of Ugali they made on Monday, said the flour they used came from Kiambu’s largest dumpsite located at Kang’oki in Thika

He told journalists that they collected maize flour from the dumpsite last Saturday and stored it until Tuesday, when they made ugali and shared it amongst themselves.

“Walitoa unga pande ya Kango’ki wakakula, na hata haikuwa unga mingi,” a mother who lost her son to the incident told Inooro TV. “Mimi nilipata mtoto wangu amelala akiwa hali mbaya, nikampatia maji akaanza kutapika ndio nikampeleka hospitali.”

“Alikaa hospitali kidogo, kufika hapo kitu saa tano akaniacha,”

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
