The boy who was wounded, Aukel Ewoi, when raiders suspected to have come from the neighbouring country attacked their village at Nameyan River, 7 KM north of Lobur Mission in Turkana North District, is still at Lodwar District Hospital, despite the fact that he has been referred to Moi Referral and Teaching Hospital, Eldoret for specialists treatment. His father, Epat Ewoi, told us that he was getting concerned over his sons's wounded foot. “If I had money my son would have been moved to Eldoret,” he said. Our efforts to get comments from the Hospital Medical Superintendent were fruitless as he was busy operation room. However, a source that did not want to be named said that it was not easy to move Aukel to Eldoret for lack of fuel. He said that the allocation the hospital receives from the headquarter was not enough and therefore patients or their people are called upon to cost share more so on fuel, driver and the accompanying nurse's allowances. Aukel's father, Epat Ewoi, now appeals to well-wishers to come to his son's aid so that he may travel to MRTH.
