Muthii said he went to ask for his balance of Ksh50 on Friday after working for the main suspect, Isaac Gachoka.
Instead, Gachoka stabbed him several times in his genitals, inexplicably angry.

“Jamaa alinivuta kwa nguvu ndani akaanza kuniumiza sehemu ya chini hadi ikatokana yote,” narrated Muthii.
With the pain still very much a reality after surgery, Muthii is not sure whether he will ever walk out of this facility as the bills continue to pile.
