Wakurugenzi wa Nairobi Hospital washtakiwa kukiuka sheria za kampuni Wakurugenzi wanne wa Bodi ya Hospitali ya Nairobi, wanaokabiliwa na changamoto za kutimuliwa, walishtakiwa Jumatatu, Machi 16, 2026. Dkt Job Lukuru Obwaka, 80, Dkt Chris Bichage, Wakili Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui na Dkt Valerie Akinyi Gaya walikamatwa wikendi iliyopita na kusafirishwa kortini. Shtaka linawashtaki kwa kujipatia zaidi ya Sh8 milioni na kutomkabidhi msajili wa kampuni katika afisi ya mwanasheria mkuu taarifa za kifedha za Hospitali ya Nairobi. Wakili Rodgers Sagana alieleza mahakama kwamba madaktari hao walishtakiwa kwa kutowasilisha taarifa za mapato kinyume cha sheria. Dkt Bichage anadaiwa kujifaidi Sh4.8 milioni kutoka kampuni ya bima ya Meritorious Insurance Agency iliyopewa kandarasi na hospitali. Bw Kinyanjui anadaiwa kupokea Sh3,999,995 kutoka kampuni hiyo hiyo. Washtakiwa waliomba dhamana wakisema, “hawawezi kutoroka kutokana na huduma wanazotoa kwa Wakenya.” Walikuwa wamepinga uchunguzi wa DCI kwa zaidi ya mwaka. Mahakama iliwapa dhamana ya Sh5 milioni na kesi itatajwa Machi 31, 2026. Mazingira haya yanatokea wakati Rais William Ruto ameingilia kati kuhusu mzozo wa utawala na kifedha wa hospitali. Kaunti ya State House ilisema Rais amepokea malalamiko kutoka Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), madaktari na wagonjwa. Aliongoza uchukuzi wa hatua za uwazi ili kulinda wagonjwa na utendakazi. Ripoti ya timu ya wizara mbalimbali ilitolewa Machi 6, 2026, na kusababisha makamati. Waziri wa Afya Aden Duale alisema hospitali haiwezi kununuliwa au kubinafsishwa kama kampuni iliyodhibitiwa na sheria.
