Westwick College Director Freed On Bond In Nursing Training Scam

Westwick College director was on Tuesday, May 7, freed on bond by a Kiambu court over fraud.

Christine Nyambura who was not in court physically was freed on a Sh500,000 bond or a Sh300,000 cash bail.

Her legal team informed the court that she was still admitted to a Nairobi hospital after she fell ill on Friday, May 3.

She was arraigned in court on Thursday, where she denied obtaining over Sh1.9 million in an alleged nurses’ training scam.

Her lawyer made the application for her release on bail.

Kiambu Senior Principal Magistrate Meresia Opondo however moved the ruling to the following day before moving it further after Nyambura was taken ill.

She denied eight counts of falsely obtaining the money and offering nursing certificate courses in unaccredited institutions.

The charge sheet showed that Nyambura allegedly obtained Sh1,959,000 from seven individuals by inducing them to pay as college fees for a certified nursing assistant course at Westwick Institute Limited.

“On diverse dates between January 20, 2023 and February 27, 2024, in Gigiri area within Nairobi County, jointly with others not before court being the director of Westwick Institute Limited, offered training in Certified Nurse Assistant without accreditation, licencing and registration by Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority,” read part of the charge sheet.

Nyambura denied that she obtained Sh428,500 from Sally Wanjiru between January 20, 2023 and July 28, 2023.

Nyambura allegedly induced Wanjiru that she could be trained and issued a certificate in a certified nursing assistant course from Westwick Institute Limited.

According to the investigators, the institution is not accredited as a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

She was further accused of obtaining various amounts of money from six other unsuspecting Kenyans.

The case will be mentioned on July 2, 2024.
