The 22 month-old girl, Fidelis Muthoni from Makuyu in Murang’a county, who was suffering from frontal encephalocele underwent a free operation in Toronto, Canada to remove a bone growth on her face.
The Canadian doctors volunteered to operate on her for free when her father Kenneth Kinuthia met them in Kiambu county during a medical camp. Muthoni’s plight was highlighted when the family accused her uncle, Hope Foundation founder Joseph Wanjau, of misappropriating the ticket money.
The family said Wanjau volunteered to raise cash on social media to assist them but he later withdrew the Sh2.8 million raised without their consent which made it impossible for Muthoni to be flown to Canada.
Fortunately, President Uhuru Kenyatta intervened and bought air tickets for mother and child to travel before the appointment was called off.
