A renowned Kenyan radio journalist is reportedly detained at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) for failing to clear his medical bills.

Nairobi News understands Radio Jambo’s Diamond Okusimba has been admitted at the hospital for the past month with chest complications, and persistent headache and backache.

Although he has registered marked improvement, he cannot be discharged unless he clears the Sh1 million bill.
