Nairobi Hospital chair falls ill on court premises, charged and freed on bond

Nairobi Hospital board chairman Dr Job Obwaka, who was in court Monday following his recent arrest, was taken ill while awaiting proceedings, with an ambulance from the facility coming to the Milimani Law Courts to stablise him. 

Dr Obwaka was in court alongside ex-board chair Dr Chris Bichage, lawyer Samson Kinyanjui and Valarie Akinyi of the Kenya Hospital Association. They were charged with conflict of interest, failing to file financial statements with the registrar of companies before December 31, 2024 and loss of more than Sh4.8 million at the facility.
