Local News - 03.05.2010 - THE SHOT BOY FINALLY MOVED TO MOI R&T H. BY OKOTH PETER.

Aukel Ewoi, the boy who was wounded when raiders suspected to have come from a neighbouring country attacked their Nameyan Village, 7Km north of Lobur village in Turkana North District, an incident that saw his mother and a sister killed, has finally been moved to Moi Teaching and Referal Hospital, Eldoret for further treatment. Aukel, was airlifted in 540 flight today through the assistance of Missionary Community of Saint Paul the Apostle (MCSPA). His father, Epat Ewoi, had earlier moved by road in company of one member of the congregation.

The boy, who had been lying at Lodwar District Hospital, had been transferred to the Referral Hospital but could not move due to logistical problems as a source at the hospital that talked to us last week, had claimed that there was no fuel.

Mr. Epat had earlier appealed through the Press for assistance so that his son could be transferred to Eldoret. Radio Akicha carried his unfortunate case twice.
