Margaret Muthoni, the mother of Edwin Maingi Ndegwa, who was killed at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) last week, now wants the hospital's management held to account.

Ms Muthoni questioned why the management decided to keep suspect Kennedy Kalombotole at the facility despite being flagged by police over the murder of Gilbert Kinyua in February 2025. "Why should people go to collect the bodies of their loved ones, yet it is not as a result of the particular sickness that took them to Kenyatta?" Muthoni posed.

Speaking to the Sunday Standard, the mother said that Ndegwa, 54, was due to travel to the United Kingdom to join his family, a trip he would have made earlier, but he chose to stay behind to take care of her.

Muthoni says she is yet to receive any word from a government official, either offering condolences or promising any action.
