A Kazo milk vendor, known as Kahutu, went to this clinic to get treatment for malaria. He was immediately put on drip. He required two bottles of drip and that is what the nurse gave him.
Kahutu did not complain because he was badly off. After he got better, the nurse brought him the bill: sh7,000 for the two bottles of drip and sh3,000 for injections and tables.
On seeing sh7,000 for drip, Kahutu screamed, “That is the price of a whole jerrycan of milk. I thought these two bottles of water cost only sh1,000, sh500 each. Why didn’t you tell me to bring milk? I would rather have milk in my body than this water of sh7,000,†he cried. Ends
