Quack Doctor Mugo Wairimu to Serve a Sentence of 29 Years In Prison

The court had on Thursday, November 17, found Mugo guilty of running a medical clinic illegally and practicing medicine without required academic qualifications.

A total of 12 counts had been brought against Mugo and Milimani chief magistrate Wendy Micheni found him guilty of 10 counts. 

"He is a danger to society and ought to be kept away for a long time,"  Chief Magistrate Wendy Micheni indicated while delivering the court's decision. 

"Instead of using the knowledge he says he acquired to improve society he went ahead by purporting to be a gynecologist and administering drugs to them,” the judge ruled.

According to the court, Mugo opted to abuse his qualified skills from the University of Nairobi to administer drugs so as to engage in sex with patients.

Prestige Hospital, the clinic the Mugo Wa Wairimu was running alongside a pharmacy, was found to be illegal and not registered.

While delivering the ruling, the judge found that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that Mugo had been on the wrong side of the law.

“The sexual molestation charge cannot stand in any court of law as the prosecution failed to prove the three main ingredients of forcible intercourse beyond a reasonable doubt to warrant a conviction," the chief magistrate indicated. 

"The court required oral evidence from the alleged victim, sufficient circumstantial evidence, and DNA samples test which were never provided in court by the prosecution,” she ruled.

According to a statement by one of the witnesses in the case, Wairimu gave drugs to one of his patients, who then became unconscious and when she woke up, she found herself with no pants.

Furthermore, Wa Wairimu was acquitted of charges that he unlawfully hired two medical students to work under him in his clinic. This is after the prosecution failed to provide evidence regarding the appointments.
