This is after he was found guilty of several offenses, chief among them, operating a medical clinic without a license.

Senior Resident Magistrate Martha Nanzushi of Milimani law courts on Wednesday ruled that the prosecution proved its case against the accused person.

Mugo was further convicted of unlawfully operating an unregistered pharmacy, operating a medical laboratory without a license from the Kenya Medical Laboratory Practitioners, operating a medical clinic without registration, and practicing as an unregistered nurse.

He was arrested by flying squad officers in Gachie area, Kiambu County in November 2018 after evading arrest for several weeks by continuously swapping SIM cards.

Mugo was first arrested in 2015 after a video showing him raping a sedated female patient at his clinic in Githurai was exposed by a local TV station. 

The video showed a woman lying on a doctor’s examination table and a man (believed to be Mugo) undressing before climbing onto the table and raping the sedated female patient.

Mugo was charged with rape and 11 other counts including operating an illegal clinic. He was later freed on bond.

    With all the crimes this fuck did, thats all he gets. It seems that idiots in Kenya that commit big crimes r either free, get light prison terms but u carry some weed n the prison term u get will even shock Jah. I am a proud advocate of throwing a couple of rocks n if in the mood abit of burning for anyone that rapes or abuses women/girls.

    You can accused or say the Kenyan male judges and lawyers of having participated in the same kinds of things this idiot did to women. They have raped women many times.

    This judgment is exactly what male judges think about women in Kenya! That we are their pussy toys to rape and abuse! It is Maraga in the full glare of the dirty law!

    No wonder women are taking the laws in their own hands to cut them hands off the lawyers and judges for raping them!

    And very true I’m very mad to see a rapist locked up for 3 little years only! What a barbaric country???

    They say 'The Law is an Ass'. Mark you the woman in the video never made a complaint, and her identity is not known. And the face of the rapist is not shown. There is no way of telling if it is Mugo.

    Unbelievable!Three years for all the crimes he did?Where are our civil right activists? It's bad enough to rape unsedated woman,but to sedate her and then rape her?It's beyond human comprehension.This is an animal.What an insult to humanity that case should be repealed.

    Judge Martha is a rapist too! Cut her nyonyo off to make feel the pain of being raped! Who the hell is this he-she weak judge!??

  7. TerryOct 28, 2020

    Nanzushi - so rape is just a common sexual event in your own Japanese community!? You get excited every time you get raped? No wonder you are a very inexperienced magistrate. Shame on you!

    This just shows that women have no rights in Kenya.
    After this fool rapes and all he gets is 3 years?
    Ladies come on and vote all these fools out.
    We need new leaders.
    Screw them all. Let's vote for the devil we don't know.
