What are the claims against Sandra Ndirika?

The Court of Doctors’ Service (MPTS) found it was unpleasant to practice, deciding that its actions would weaken trust in the medical profession.

The MPts heard that Ndika had removed the wallets from the patient during the clinic at the peak of the Covid-19 catastrophe.

The BBC report revealed that he stole KSh 5,256 and made a patient bank card, then used it to make online purchases on May 22, 2023.

Ndika made things worse as he also falsely represented as the card holder during these activities.

The second victim was a nurse whose bank card Ndirika took from a wallet left in the staff room and used it to import food online.

During the court, Ndirika acknowledged the allegations made against him when interviewed by the police with caution.

He told the panel that there was no meditation, saying his mind was in the fog at the time and that he acted without thinking, feeling just ashamed later.

It was also noted that he had been involved in ongoing professional development to update his clinical knowledge.

Why did the court decide against Sandra Ndika?

Despite its claims, the panel focused on the seriousness of the offenses, citing the behavior that directly violates the expectation that doctors must be honest and honest.

“These were not special events but a characteristic style where the doctor took the opportunity of his patient and his vulnerable colleague,” The court said.

In response to the situation, the panel admitted that Ndirika expressed regret and tried to apologize to the complainants, although his pardon was rejected.
