Nairobi Hospital directors charged with company law violations Four directors of the Nairobi Hospital board, facing dismissal challenges, were charged on Monday, March 16, 2026. Dr Job Lukuru Obwaka, 80, Dr Chris Bichage, lawyer Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui, and Dr Valerie Akinyi Gaya were arrested over the weekend and brought to court. They face charges of obtaining over Sh8 million and failing to submit financial statements to the company registrar at the Attorney General's office. Lawyer Rodgers Sagana told the court the doctors were charged for not submitting income reports in violation of the law. Dr Bichage is accused of receiving Sh4.8 million from Meritorious Insurance Agency, which had a contract with the hospital. Mr Kinyanjui is accused of receiving Sh3,999,995 from the same company. The accused sought bail, stating, “they cannot flee due to the services they provide to Kenyans.” They had resisted a DCI investigation for over a year. The court granted them Sh5 million bail, with the case mentioned on March 31, 2026. This occurs as President William Ruto intervenes in the hospital's governance and financial disputes. State House said the President received complaints from the Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), doctors, and patients. He directed transparent processes to protect patients and operations. A multi-agency report was submitted on March 6, 2026, leading to arrests. Health CS Aden Duale clarified the hospital cannot be acquired or privatised as a company limited by guarantee.
