A student at the Kenya Medical Training College, Embu Campus has put up his kidney for sale to be able to raise college fees.
Michael Muruthi Wanjohi resolved to sell a body organ after the college barred him from continuing with his training and examinations unless he settles fees arrears totaling to Sh67,700.
He’s looking for a person who will offer adequate money to offset the fees arrears and pay his fees for remaining years at KMTC and later for a degree course in university.
The 22-year-old second year diploma in Clinical Medicine and Surgery student wants nothing to dim his life dream of becoming a medic, hence his sudden decision.
Muruthi who hails from a poor background in Githakwa village, Tetu constituency, Nyeri County says he has tried applying for bursaries, approaching potential well-wishers and even organizing a fundraiser, but in vain.
He is the only boy in his family and has three sisters.
