Another medic, Justus Magati Moindi told the court that he also forged a medical report claiming that Oyamo needed specialized treatment at a hospital in Kisumu where his medical insurance was to cover.
“When the two came, Caspal told me that they had a problem and they wanted to see me privately. I asked whether it was related to medical treatment and they said yes. I asked them to go and buy a card at the reception but they told me before they could buy, they wanted to talk to me,” Moindi explained to the court.
