NEW TACTICS- Quack doctor Mugo wa Wairimu Use Clinic to HIDE From Court Proceeding

The hospital that controversial medic Mugo wa Wairimu is alleged to have been running bailed him out after he failed to show up for a court hearing in 2016. Millan Health International, which is now at the centre of claims concerning Mugo’s illicit activities, saved him from spending time in remand. On August 24, 2016, the prosecution, through Chief Investigator Andolo Munga, asked the court to lift a Sh5 million bond Mugo had paid to secure temporary freedom when he failed to show up for the hearing of a case in which he was accused of rape. He was also accused of operating a hospital without a license and illegally administering a substance in a bid to overpower a patient, among other charges.

“There are compelling reasons to warrant cancellation of the respondent’s bond terms pending the conclusion of the trial,” argued Mr Munga. But armed with a letter from Millan, Mugo told the court he had failed to show up because he was unwell. The letter, which was admitted into court records, stated that Mugo had been admitted at the health facility on August 9, 2016, suffering from a condition that was detected in 2000 at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH)

I was by in a bed sheet. “I uncovered myself and found out I did not have my underpants, pad and tampon,” she testified.

The second witness, a musician identified as CWW, told the court she was taken to the clinic after getting burnt in a house fire. She was slapped with a Sh515,323 bill and had to secure her discharge with her mother’s title deed. CWW told the court she ended up seeking treatment at KNH when she did not heal. She also felt duped because the hospital failed to return the title deed. The third witness, the artiste’s mother, told the court she had been demanding her land ownership document but her efforts had hit a dead end. “The complaint is about my title deed, which I keep asking him,” she testified. The State had indicated that four witnesses were to testify against Mugo, including others who were not produced in court.

He then went to Thika town, where he tried to contact the lawyer. “He should surrender to the authorities for processing,” said another officer. Last Saturday, two of Mugo’s employees were arrested at Millan clinic for operating without the required documents.
