Over 70 people have been hospitalised in Kericho County following a food poisoning incident believed to be a result of the consumption of contaminated locally fermented milk, commonly known as Mursik, according to authorities.
The 73 people, including children from Masaita villages of Kericho County, are reported to have consumed the contaminated milk while attending a church graduation ceremony.
They were rushed to the Londiani Sub County Hospital where they are currently undergoing treatment. Hospital officials reported that this was not the first incident of food poisoning they had encountered, as they had treated a similar case just a few weeks ago.
