Student Caught Performing Abortion While Drunk [VIDEO]

There was drama in Kitale after a man was caught performing an abortion while intoxicated. 

NTV reported the man, who claimed that he was a graduate of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), has been working at the Sirikwa Medical Laboratories since March 2019.

A pregnant woman who walked into the facility on Saturday for a routine check-up was met with disbelief when the man started performing an abortion on her.

Her loud screams alerted officers from the Ministry of Health who were carrying out an inspection in private clinics in the town. 

Speaking to journalists, Dr. Jonathan Buturu, an officer from the Clinical Officers Council (COC), explained that they have to confirm if he is an alumnus of KTMC as he claims.

"We found someone who purports to be a nurse actually conducting an abortion and we managed to seize him.

"We have to see the papers, we have to confirm everything but the way he is, he is drunk so we can't even trust what he is telling us," he explained.

The man was taken into police custody and will be arraigned in court on Monday, 24.

The woman was rushed to Kitale County Referral Hospital in critical condition. It was not immediately clear whether the fetus survived.
