Four journalists and a medical officer were attacked by the management of a private hospital in Homa Bay County while they were on duty.
According to Sub-County Medical Officer Ben Otieno, the hospital had been shut down by the Homa Bay County Government for failing to meet the required standards to operate as a health facility.
Ben recounted that he was attacked while performing his duties, and the journalists, who were reporting on the matter, were not spared either.
He revealed that the hospital had been operating with a license belonging to a different facility, which did not meet the necessary requirements for the facility in question.
