Penda

Prempeh lived in the estate’s villa, and was given "every respect and dignity", according to Dr Penda Choppy, a Seychellois academic who also travelled to Kumasi for the centenary events.

"It has ruined my life," Penda told the BBC about the surgery she underwent shortly after having twins at the state-owned Pumwani Maternity Hospital in the capital, Nairobi.

Penda knew she was HIV-positive when she became pregnant so had sought medical advice.

After giving birth, Penda says she was told to exclusively use formula milk.

To help Penda obtain this proof, the hospital nutritionist referred her to a community health worker who told her to report to a clinic where personnel from Marie Stopes, Kenya's largest and most-specialised sexual reproductive health organisation, ran a family planning programme.
