The victim’s family says that justice has been delayed and therefore denied.
They claim that the hospital’s management, a Prof. Ogendo is conflicted and must not chair the council review on the case.
Annita Jepkorir’s family also believe that Eunice Muriithi, the deputy director in charge disciplinary service, has been compromised. She is the one who allocated the case to Prof. Ogendo.
Prof. Ogendo represents universities at KMDPC.
“The tribunal like a jury should be independent and should look at all the facets of the case. Eunice and Yumbya have already been compromised by the doctors. Prof Ogendo as a council member should not be a case reviewer because he oversees the management”, an anonymous person interested in the case told cnyakundi.com
