The Senate Health Committee initiated an investigation into the hospital’s ownership dispute following a petition from Senator Karanja, seeking the Senate's intervention to resolve conflicts between private investors and the county government.
Senator Karanja accused Governor Kihika of impunity for allegedly ignoring court orders preventing the devolved unit from interfering with the hospital's management.
Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and the management of Nakuru War Memorial Hospital have been summoned to appear before the Senate Health Committee on Friday to shed light on issues surrounding the facility’s closure.
In a letter dated May 9, Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye outlined the specific issues for which Governor Kihika's input is required.
