On May 22, 2019, a patient’s monitor was stolen from Kwale District Hospital and Dr Samuel Kiptalam was blamed for it.
Kiptalam, an Anaesthetist at the hospital was blamed for the said stolen monitor by the county and as a result, he was transferred to Samburu Sub-County Hospital on June 10, 2019.
However, he declined to proceed on transfer and as a result, his salary amounting to Sh4,536,170 was withheld by Kwale County.
Dr Kiptalam was employed by the National Government as a Registered Clinical Officer- Anaesthetist, under the Ministry of Health on June 28, 2001 where he was later posted to the then Coast Province, Kwale District where he was absorbed by Kwale County and served until the undue transfer to Samburu.
