The 35-year-old man said that he sold his kidney to a needy recipient he met in Eldoret for R71,444. He said he was paid but regrets his decision.
He said that he was linked to an organ-harvesting broker who took him to Eldoret, where he met the recipient of the kidney and underwent surgery to remove his kidney
"We went to a private hospital in Eldoret three days after I, together with the two others interested in selling their kidneys, concluded negotiating with the broker," said Otieno."He took me and the two others for tests and to meet the receiver of the kidney whom I talked to, and we agreed," said Otieno, adding that he sympathised with the receiver who seemingly had suffered kidney problems for a long time and both kidneys were affected then.
The rest of the money he earned was used to buy a motorcycle and build a semi-permanent house on his father's land.
