Date of Decision: 08 Feb 2010
Summary of Decision:
On February 8, 2010, the Discipline Committee accepted Dr. Kitakufe’s admission and found that Dr. Kitakufe engaged in acts of professional misconduct in that he has been found guilty of an offence that is relevant to his suitability to practise; and that he has committed an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.

On August 29, 2007, Dr. Kitakufe pleaded guilty to, and was convicted of the criminal charges of: unlawfully conspired to commit Fraud exceeding $5000, by participation in a scheme to defraud the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care through the use of fraudulent prescriptions for oxycodone; unlawfully conspired to commit the indictable offence of Trafficking in a controlled substance, oxycodone; and, unlawfully by deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means, defrauded the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care of money of a value exceeding $5000 by submitting fraudulent claims for medical services, for which the Ministry remitted payment. Dr. Kitakufe was sentenced to 32 months in custody and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $50,000.

After hearing submissions and evidence on penalty, the Committee reserved its decision on penalty on March 3, 2010. On September 3, 2010, the Committee ordered and directed that:

1. Dr. Kitakufe appear before the Discipline Committee to be reprimanded.

2. The Registrar revoke Dr. Kitakufe’s certificate of registration effective immediately.

The Committee also ordered that Dr. Kitakufe shall pay to the College its costs fixed at $18,250.00 within six (6) months of the date of this order.
