A 22-year old father has pleaded guilty in a court of law, after accusations of smuggling his one month-old baby from the Kenyatta National Hospital in an attempt to avoid paying an accumulated bill of Sh56,000.
Appearing before Senior Resident Magistrate Muthoni Nzibe, Boniface Murage admitted the offence at Milimani Law Courts.
According to security guards who reported the incident, Murage is said to have carried the baby in a paper bag on Saturday.
Trying to find his way out with the baby, Murage is said to have declined to be subjected to a routine security check at the hospital, prompting the guard to confiscate the bag.
He will be remanded until Tuesday when the court will hear charges preferred by the prosecution before sentencing.
