The Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), which manages Nairobi Hospital, has assured the public that its commitment to providing quality healthcare services remains unaffected despite an ongoing legal battle.

According to the hospital’s acting CEO Felix Osano, the legal dispute involves a temporary court order suspending the implementation of a resolution regarding the election of directors to the board of management and trustees of the association.

“The restrictions and inconveniences notwithstanding, as a law-abiding institution, we fully respect the judicial process and will comply with the orders while seeking appropriate remedies before the court,” the hospital stated in a letter.

The dispute arose after Samuel Mithamo Muchiri filed a case against the hospital’s board of management and trustees, alleging that they failed to file an updated index of members with the Registrar of Companies and engaged in serious acts of malfeasance, breaching their duty to act in the best interests of the institution.

Additionally, Muchiri claims that the hospital has suffered losses exceeding Ksh.1.5 billion and is burdened with supplier debts amounting to nearly Ksh.3 billion

The suspension will remain in place pending the hearing and determination of the case.
