George Mburu, 33, had been operating at the said hospital for the past one week.
For the period, Mburu was reportedly using the name Generis Njuguna to swindle the public.
According to Joseph Kiprotich, a clinical officer at the level five hospital, they received complaints from other doctors over the ‘unidentified medic’.
According to the paper, ‘Dr’ George Mburu is not a registered doctor.
Kiprotich said that after investigations, a trap was laid in the morning as he was ‘reporting to work’.
It is said that Mbugua who was found with only a national Identification card in his wallet, was in doctor’s attire complete with a stethoscope hanging around his neck.
Kiprotich said that the fake doctor claimed to be attending to the outpatients only.
The hospital is at the moment trying to establish how many patients the man might have ‘treated’ or prescribed any medications.
The clinical officer revealed that this was the third case where a man has been apprehended pretending to be a doctor at the hospital.
It is reported that Mbugua defended himself saying he was only acting on voluntary basis further denying that he was extorting money.
According to him, he has been doing the same while at Kitale district hospital where he resides.
He said: “I have been doing the same in a hospital in Kitale because it was just voluntarily and I thought I could do the same.”
Mbugua said he had been a medical student of Tracom Collage in Nakuru town.
The college, according to the paper, said Mbugua had only attained a diploma in community health and had ceased to be their student at least a year ago.
