Nairobi Hospital defends financial position in court battle

Nairobi Hospital has defended its financial position, arguing at the High Court that it remains financially stable, well-capitalised and capable of supporting its current operations and future growth despite allegations by petitioners that the institution is facing financial collapse.

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, Bernard Muchiri Muchere and Naomi Nyakerario Misati claimed in a petition alleged financial and governance failures and challenged the legitimacy of the hospital’s register of members, which determines voting rights at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The High Court temporarily halted the AGM scheduled for February 6, 2026, pending determination of the dispute.

But in its response, the hospital said its trustees, as of December 11, 2025, reaffirmed that the institution’s asset base was strong, strategically deployed and well positioned to support both current operations and future growth.
