On 2018-11-20, Milimani Law Courts released two students linked to Mugo wa Wairimu’s Milan International Medical Centre after they spent two weeks in police custody over allegations tied to the clinic’s operations.
Magistrate Martha Mutuku ordered Victor Gathiru Kamunya, 22, and Risper Auma Ogony, 19, freed on a Sh200,000 cash bail or Sh500,000 bond with a surety of a similar amount each. The court said there was no compelling reason to keep them detained.
The pair were arrested at the centre, which is owned by the controversial doctor. They face accusations of running a laboratory without a licence from the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board.
They were also charged with operating a pharmacy that was not registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board.
Ogony is a first-year student at Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology in Githurai, where she is pursuing a diploma in procurement. Kamunya studied clinical medicine at KMTC Siaya Campus, completed the course in July, and was due to graduate the following month.
