A special investigation by Deutsche Welle, German media ZDF, and 'Der Spiegel' has revealed that Kenya is at the centre of an international organ trafficking syndicate.
According to the investigative piece, recipients pay up to $200,000 (Ksh25.9 million) for an organ transplant, with a hospital in Eldoret the alleged site of conducting the transplant operations.
The research, spanning from the hospital in Kenya to a shadowy agency that attracted organ recipients from Germany, exploited vulnerable people at both ends.
The young, desperate for money, and the old, desperate for a life-saving organ.
