On Thursday, October 22, the former IEBC Commissioner Thomas Letangule, was awarded Ksh2.6 million from a health medical center where his wife died during child birth.
In a court ruling, Justice Lucy Njuguna, stated that the medical facility was responsible for the death of his wife Esther Letangule.
“The aforesaid injury, pain and subsequent death were solely caused by the negligence and carelessness of the hospital at the material time, and the plaintiff holds them liable for the breach of their duty of care,” read a part of the ruling.
After Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board conducted an inquiry, they found out that the death was as a result of negligence as she suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure during delivery.
In court records, Letangule revealed that his wife had complained of blurred vision, swelling of the limbs and face, as well as extreme headaches.
