Four medics were suspended but consultant was spared.
Master's students, known as registrars, boycotted work.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board chairman George Magoha has pulled out of investigations into the bungled brain surgery at Kenyatta National Hospital, citing a conflict of interest.
Prof Magoha said given the fact that the consultant neurosurgeon on call the night the surgery took place - Dr Michael Magoha- was his son, he would not participate in the investigation.
