The statement released today and circulated in the media said the Muhimbili leadership has succeeded in catching the ‘fake’ worker who is also a thief due to its security systems.
The statement continued to say after the interview, Mr. Julius has admitted to stealing three phones, two of which he sold to a resident of Kibamba and one to a person who lives outside Dar es Salaam.
Mr. Julius said that after completing nursing internship, he has worked in several hospitals in Dar es Salaam where he was fired due to moral violations including theft.
