We say blood is thicker than water and clearly it is.

Well, self claimed “doctor” James Mugo Ndichu popularly known as Mugo wa Wairimu has been in the news for the last couple of days following the expose by NTV early this week.

However his mother Mrs.Regina Wairimu Ndichu has come pout to strongly defend his son.

According to Mrs Ndichu, I am Proud proud of my son, Even if you came with a big gun and asked me to deny him, I would die defending him.”

 

She however said that  she was as shocked as anyone else, about how his son had turned out.

While speaking to media houses in an interview she said, “There are lies about my son. They said he did not study at the University, yet we attended his graduation on December, 10, 2000. He graduated from the Medical School at the University of Nairobi.”

In addition she said, he (Mugo) attended the nearby Gitiba Primary School and managed a total of 540 marks out of the possible 700 in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education.

When he completed his Primary School education, Mugo joined Dagoretti High School as he could not join Mang’u High School, where he had been admitted because he lacked the required school fees.

According to his father Simon Ndichu Ndongi , Mugo went to Dagoretti High School where he managed managed to score a B+ (plus).”

Mugo joined the University Of Nairobi School Of Medicine. He attended classes at the Chiromo Campus for two years and then moved to the campus at the Kenyatta National Hospital, his parents said.

Mrs Regina also added saying that Mugo worked at the Chiromo Mortuary to raise some money for his education. He later sold some of the protective clothes bought by his parents and bought some medical equipment that enabled him to start a private clinic.

“By the time he was graduating, he had a running clinic and he chose not to attend the attachment that was required for him to be absorbed by the Government. I think this is the only mistake he made in his life.

 

“Otherwise, he is a qualified doctor,” Mrs Ndichu said, adding, he had treated many people including his neighbours. The private clinic, she said, enabled Mugo to open a big hospital in Kasarani, where he even offered free services to people who could not pay.

“Everyone who has been treated by my son will tell you that he offered services that were better than even big hospitals. Ask anyone!,” his father said, adding that he suspected that some competitors had conspired to ruin Mugo’s reputation in Kasarani in 2015.

He said since his son was arrested after the first exposé by the media, he stopped visiting home frequently. His wife left him, and his clinic was closed.

However Mugo’s mother is still in denial that hios son is involved in illegal medical business.

According to her people are trying to tarnish his son’s name.

In addition , Mugo visited home three months ago, according to his parents, but he did not spend much time there, he rarely does because of stigma from allegations in 2015 that he molested a sedated patient in his clinic. He last spoke to his parents on phone three weeks ago.

Neighbours said that until 2015, Mugo was the village’s most talked about son for having worked hard to build his own medical practice.

The parents said they did not know his whereabouts and they were praying for him.

Police are looking for Mugo,  who went missing after NTV aired a chilling exposé revealing how he run another unlicensed clinic in Kayole, abused drugs and raped sedated patients. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations, DCI, has deployed the Special Crimes Prevention Unit, SCPU and the Flying Squad to track him.
