Boniface Murage Wangechi, 22, had hidden his baby in a bag and tried to walk out of a Ksh 56,937 hospital bill.
He was intercepted by security guards of the hospital while carrying a blue bag on February 16, 2019, who forcefully opened it only to find a baby.
Appearing before Resident Magistrate Muthoni Nzibe, the father disclosed that he feared his wife and daughter would stay at the facility forever if he did not act, hence his reason for sneaking his daughter out
Murage pleaded guilty after revealing that he had made the move because he did not have money to settle the hospital bill.
Murage was remanded until February 19, 2019, when the judge will deliver her ruling.
