0956: Our Busia reporter files this story -
Busia District Hospital authorities today barred a man from leaving institution to go and vote since he was nursing a child that was being treated for tetanus.

According to the hospital matron, Ms Semrick Obel, the 55 year old Alex Musina, from Shinamwenyuli village in Butere district, had initially sought discharge for the child to enable him vote .

"There are those we can permit to go and vote after assessing the condition and how long they can take outside, but not this particular one" said Sister Obel wondering why the ECK didn't consider setting up mobile polling stations in hospitals.

"If KNEC can bring examinations in the hospital what prevents ECK to bring the ballot boxes here?" she asked, adding that many patients had felt disenfranchised.

The nurses said that tetanus was a dangerous disease that the government may need to investigate if immunization was appropriately carried out in the patients' place of origin.

'The government has spent a lot of money on treating the child who is now showing signs of recovery and now you want to discharged him against medical recommendation, we can't allow that", the matron told the man and threatened to report him to the Children 's department for child abuse.
