Police in Nambale have arrested a one year old baby and her mother after they were found without mask and taken to quarantine facility for 14 days.
The quarantine have wired beds with no beddings and was forced to sleep on boxes.
How many Millions are allocated for the quarantine centers?
“Busia police have forcefully quarantined a lady and her one month old baby….the facility has no beds forcing the mother and child to spend on carton exposing them to pneumonia,” an human right activitist says.
” The center has mosquitoes due to its nature. No mosquito net for the one year old baby,” he added.
Quarantine centres are now cash cows for the county bosses.
Police, however, have been using quarantine centres to extort money from people.
The fate of the mother is still unknown regarding the poor condtion of the facility.
However, Mike Sonko says he will intervene.
“Hon. Governor, this is the lady from Busia County who was forcefully Quarantined With her one year old baby in Kisoko Isolation Centre. Her name is Caroline Akumu and her husband Ernest Osundwa,” the activist told Sonko.
