The Board of Management at Nairobi Hospital has successfully obtained a court injunction stopping the Attorney General from appointing five new members to its board.
During a press conference, the hospital’s legal representatives — Danstan Omari, Cliff Ombeta, Shadrack Wambui, and Samson Nyaberi — criticized the Attorney General’s office, accusing it of exceeding its mandate.
Omari stated that the Attorney General is limited to offering legal advice and should not interfere in the hospital’s internal affairs, including board appointments or pursuing criminal charges against current board members.
He emphasized that the Attorney General’s involvement in the governance of Nairobi Hospital, a private entity, is unlawful and unwarranted.
Lawyers Nyaberi, Ombeta, and Wambui also confirmed that they had secured anticipatory bail for the current board members targeted in the Attorney General’s legal action.
Despite the ongoing court battles, the legal team reassured the public that hospital operations continue as normal and that the governance dispute has not impacted the delivery of healthcare services.
