Quack doctor Mugo Wa Wairimu sentenced to 29 years in prison for sedating patients with intent to rape
Doctor James Mugo Ndichu famously known as Wairimu, has today been sentenced to 29 years and six months in jail after being found guilty of operating an illegal clinic and sedating a patient with intent to rape.
Mugo, who operated Prestige Healthcare Clinic was found guilty of 10 counts of the 12 he was charged with.
Milimani Magistrate Wendy Muchemi ruled that Mugo was a danger to society and needed to be kept away for a long time.
“I have considered the accused persons need to be back to the society but he endangered the female patients and would administer to them drugs and rape them. He made himself a gynaecologist”, the magistrate ruled.
She said Mugo chose to abuse his qualified skills from the University of Nairobi to administer drugs so as to engage in sexual misconduct with patients.
During his mitigation, Mugo asked the court to spare him, since he still has the ambition to serve humanity.
“I assure this court that I have learnt a lesson and would urge the court to give a lenient sentence that will allow me join my family and to continue serving Kenyans as a law-abiding citizen,” he said.
“I have elderly parents who are over 80 years old and went without meals to make sure that their son has a secure future. Seeing their son on TV every day is traumatizing to them. They have not known peace because I’ve been in custody,” he added.
Mugo is already serving 11 years in prison after a court found him of operating an unlicensed medical facility.
