How Nairobi Hospital board fights triggered Sh2.2bn loss
Directors of The Nairobi Hospital from left, Dr Valerie Akinyi Gaya, Dr Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui, Dr Job Lukuru Obwaka and Dr Chris Bichage Nyamaratandi appear at the Milimani Law Courts on March 16, 2026, where they were charged with conflict of interest and receiving benefits amounting to more than Sh8 million.
